Hi guys Iam after a bit of advice . I have a medical soon for a Trainee Train Driver and Iam really worried about the unaided eye test.is that true that the unaided visual acuity requirement which is 3/60 is replaced by maximum lens correction which is myopia -8 or hypertobia +5 . My prescription is below -8 but Iam concerned maybe I don't meet the requirement of unaided visual acuity. And is the -8 for SPH only ? Or for SPH and CYL combined which is the Astigmatism. Can anybody know about eyesight requirements advise please ? Thanks

Yes true but I didn't get a definite answer about the unaided visual acuity.This was answered in one of your other threads!
Someone posted a link with the requirements... https://www.rssb.co.uk/rgs/standards/RIS-3451-TOM Iss 1.pdf Page 17
There’s no point in worrying. Just go for the medical, if you meet the standard then brilliant. If not, then there’s not much you can do about it other than corrective lazar surgery. However, that would need to be declared on your next application and some tocs wont allow for it (mine does)
