I WANT TO DO MARINE ENGINEERING BUT I HAVE EYE SIGHT-3.25 ,CAN I JOIN TMI AND DO MY LASIK IN 2ND YEAR OF MY B.TECH?

Hello Sankar!

Plese try to go for the LASIK surgery before you join TMI because it takes time for eyes to adjust to your surroundings and act normally. You should contact TMI because I think it must not be a problem unless you are color blind.

I am describing below the medical requirements of the eye laid down by DG Shipping and are subject to change.

• Candidates must not have any degree of squint or any morbid condition of eyes or of the eyelids that is liable to aggravate or recur.
• Candidates should not exhibit symptoms of pressure oftrachome and iris complications or sequela.
• Candidates must possess good binocular vision (fusion faculty and full field of vision in both eyes).
• Movement of the eyeballs must be full in all direction and the pupils should react normally to light and accommodation.
• Distance vision unaided 0.5 (6/12) in each eye or 0.67 (6/9) in better eye and 0.33 (6/18) in other eye.
• Color blindness is not permitted.
• Candidates may also be disqualified by reason of any other deficiency that in the opinion of the examining doctors will interfere with or compromise the individual's ability to properly function as an officer in the merchant navy.
