I wear specks with power..-2.75 Can I become navy merchant

My eye vision +1.25 can I join merchant Navy ??

As per the eligibility for joining merchant navy you should be completed class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and the Normal vision is required but glasses up to plus or minus 2.5 may be allowed.

Good luck!

Hi,

The vision must be 6/6 as per the DG Shipping standards. These days they do allow glasses but you could opt for a lasik operation to correct your vision and apply for marine engineering. there are conditions for the sight test and it is mandatory through authorised doctors. Check here . See the first half is in Hindi but check the english version which starts midway.
