I'm selected as a commando for my NS next year. I have got perfect eyesight on my left eye, but my right eye is of 200 degrees. I can see clearly with glasses but it will be a hassle when I am to run around with it. Sad thing is I'm a right-hander and probably will need my right eye when I take aim using a gun or some sort. Anything I can do? Like just wear glasses when I'm shooting?
what do you mean by hassles? you can try wearing spectacle hooks when you run :) Otherwise, you can remove your specs and leave them at the water point during peacetime training? i would discourage contacts, cos it's a hassle to take care of them, what happens when you have exercises??
same goes for shooting, you need your master eye, so glass would definitely be beneficial?
During normal exercises I can go well without glasses because I can see clearly. The problem comes only when I can only see with my right eye, which is short-sighted.
go and make a glass
you're straining your eye cos it's like using one 'more' over e other
same case as u, but i aint a commando
anyway just use left hand to hold your rifle if u cant see with right eye. thats what i did during my bmt
commandos use sar 21, so ts lan lan has to use his right hand to fire.

HAR! Then how how?
my only question is did u mention your eyes condition during your check up?

I went for the check up with glasses. There's one check up without glasses and they know my right eye can hardly see clearly without my glasses.
