Vision acuity accomodations that allow acceptance for the U.S. Secret Service?

Question

My friend is applying for a Secret Service position, however he/she has vision acuity of 20/80. SS only accepts 20/60 or better. I am trying to find reasonable accomodations that would allow he/she to be considered. He/She served in the military and used glasses the entire time. No one complained then. What should he/she do?

Answer 1

Military standards are different. They permit the better eye to have 20/20 corrected vision with 20/400 in the other eye, 20/30 in the better eye with 20/100 in the other and 20/40 in the better eye with 20/70 in the other.
The Secret Service's vision standards sound closer to those for certain specialty assignments in the military. So, there isn't much that one can do.
