Civilian Pilot: It needs to be Correctable to 20-20 to be a civilian pilot. So you can wear glasses and fly. Military: You need to have 20-20 vision uncorrected to be a pilotso you would have to get laser eye surgery to be a military pilot, however other military employments in an airborn craft maynot need glasses. Such as a navigator. Answer two: It depends on your country of origin mostly. Here in Canada you need: Civilian: 20/30 corrected/uncorrected. Military: 20/20 corrected. Since last year, glasses are now allowed. Laser eye is still not and according to my local recruiter, probably never will be.

In the United States you have to have perfect vision, 20/20, to become a pilot. They do not allow anyone to wear glasses, or contacts.

You have to have perfect vision or else it is a liability when you are flying.
