Can you wear contacts if you want to be a pilot and have worse than 20/40 vision?

Answer 1

You can be a pilot if you can pass the FAA eye test with your corrective eye wear. The only time a person is restricted from piloting an aircraft with corrective eye wear is in the case of Military combat aircraft, in all other cases corrective eye wear is allowed, but if you can't pass the FAA eye test with your contacts or glasses you will not be able to fly

Answer 2

Yes, you can be a pilot if you have glasses or contacts. The only requirement is that it be corrected to 20/20. You will then have a limitation on your medical certificate that states that corrective lenses must be worn. Of cours, the rules for the military are different.

Answer 3

Not if you want to be in the Air Force.

You can still try to get a piloting liscence though.

If you really like planes you can try to get a job flying doing a different job.

Consider getting laser eye surgery.

You also can not be a pilot if you are color defeicient, so check for that as well.

Answer 4

I wear them.
As long as you're corrected to 20/20, the means doesn't matter. Once you're more aged, like me, you may be required to carry reading glasses additionally.
