What are the eye standards required for merchant navy ?
Hi,Sirish
The eye standards required for merchant navy is given below:
There should not be any degree of squint or any morbid condition of eyes or of the eyelids that is liable to aggravate or recur, the pressure of trachoma and iris complication sequela. Candidates must possess good binocular vision (fusion faculty and a full field of vision in both eyes). Movement of the eyeballs must be full in all directions and the pupils should react normally to light and accommodation.
Below mentioned vision standards must be met by the applicant:
Deck Department: Vision should be 6/6 in better eye and 6/9 in the other eye;
Engine and Electrical Department: Vision should be 6/12 in each eye or 6/9 in better eye and 6/18 in the other eye;
The vision should be 6/6 (normal) in each eye separately. Defective colour vision tested by Ishihara Colour Blindness Test is a disqualification.
Hope this helps.
The eye standards are different for deck officeer and engine officer
When it comes to deck officer the eye standards are
Vision should be 6/6 in better eye and 6/9 in the other eye
And for electrical and engine department
Vision should be 6/12 in each eye or 6/9 in the better eye and 6/18 in the other eye
And defective colour vision tested by Ishihara colour blindness test will result in disqualification .
All the best :)
