Eyes are always a weird issue in aviation, I cant do anything practical with planes due to a small amount of colour blindness, despite the fact it never bothers me practically at any point in the real world, just when I have to do tests.

There is also massive demand for more ATC’ers in the Netherlands. They are advertising every year to attract new students. I did want to get in, but there is a limit on how strong your glasses may be (max -5.0) and I am at that limit.

Seems a bit strange a requirement though, considering that most of the time you will not look anywhere but on a radar screen. Some parts of ATC don’t have a view other than the radar at all!

I need to wear glasses sometimes but i dont fully understand why there needs to be limit if you have glasses/contacts/laser eye treatment then why does it matter. I do undersatnd that you may loose your glasses, they may break or you contacts may fall out, is it this that means a limit?
