What a pain... I would have met this standards... failed my flight school
application because I had 18/20 uncorrected in the right eye.

Jose, the vision standards vary over time. The post-post cold war
drawdown overmanning backlash has ended and a mini drawdown, if you
will, seems to be the way things are headed right now. So I bet
things like medical waivers may tighten up soon for a few years.

Just my educated guess/opinion on the big picture.
