Check the previous link that epublishes the guide for aviation medical
examiners.


I did, and there's nothing about uncorrected vision requirements. Here
is the section regarding eyesight examination on the link you
suggested:

----------------------------------------

§ 67.103 Eye.

Eye standards for a first-class airman medical certificate a

(a) Distant visual acuity of 20/20 or better in each eye separately,
with or without corrective lenses. If corrective lenses (spectacles or
contact lenses) are necessary for 20/20 vision, the person may be
eligible only on the condition that corrective lenses are worn while
exercising the privileges of an airman certificate.

(b) Near vision of 20/40 or better, Snellen equivalent, at 16 inches in
each eye separately, with or without corrective lenses. If age 50 or
older, near vision of 20/40 or better, Snellen equivalent, at both 16
inches and 32 inches in each eye separately, with or without corrective
lenses.

(c) Ability to perceive those colors necessary for the safe performance
of airman duties.

Again, where is they FARs does is mention uncorrected requirments?
Please post the actual section or FAR number.
