Hey Gopal,

If you are an aspirant to join cds having eyesight -1.5D, then here are some information for you...

The minimum acceptable visual acuity is 6/6 in a better case and worse could be 6/18. The eyesight has to be corrected. Myopia should not be more than -3.5D and Hypermetropia should not be above + 3.5D including astigmatism....and also it's less opportunity for you to join Air force.

Gopal Yadav Hey...
For IMA and OTA, the eyesight standards are not too strict as that of Indian air force. Here are standards required for IMA and OTA....Hope you may get a overall idea about it....
Eyesight for CDS Exam
For a male candidates the minimum acceptable visual acuity are distant vision (corrected) better eye 6/6 and worse eye 6/18. ... Internal examination of the eye will be done by means of ophthalmoscope to rule out any disease of the eye. A candidate must have good binocular vision.
The minimum acceptable visual acuity is 6/6 in a better case and worse could be 6/18. The eyesight has to be corrected.
Myopia should not be more than -3.5D and Hypermetropia should not be above + 3.5D including astigmatism.
When it comes to the women, who have the chances of to go through OTA they have some relaxation in myopia with the range of -5.5D including astigmatism. .The eyesight will be examined more to ensure the good binocular vision of the candidate.
The above standards are for the candidates of Indian Military Academy.
However , you have to get your eyesight problem corrected as it is not too late . So, better consult to doctor get this problem corrected for which you can apply for IMA in coming days.
Hope it helps you!
Best of luck!

Hello aspirant!!

Basically you can't join if you are not matching with the medical standards. But you may operate it before 8 months of SSB by lazer operation. If you reach conference level of SSB they give you three month time also. So don't let this thing become a distraction in your preparations.

Hope this was helpful.
