Hey I am looking at the eyesight standards to join as a (millitry engineer)electrian in the royal engineers I have been looking through the pulheems to find the required standard for different jobs.

From what I can tell electrian requires sight 8/2 in the right eye and 8/3 in the left eye.

The numbers stand for:

6/6 = 1
6/9 = 2
6/12 = 3
6/18 = 4
6/24 = 5
6/36 = 6
6/60 = 7
less than 6/60 = 8

So you aren't required to see anything without your glasses which is 8 as 6/60 is the top letter on the opticans chart. And 8 standards for less then this. Can any one confirm if I'm understanding this right. Thanks for any help.

I'm just wanting to know if 8/2 in the right eye and 8/3 in the left eye, is still the pulheems score required for eyesight as a military engineer electrian.

Matt.

You do know what gives you bad eyesight don't you?

Try the RMP. You'll fit in fine.

Distance Right = sph + 03.25, cyl = 00.75, axis= 155, Base = 6/6

Distance Left = sph +01.75, cyl = 00.25, Axis = 145, Base = 6/5 -1

Is my eyes acceptable?

Thanks in advance
