Answer 5

Yes, shouldn't be a problem provided you have not had any laser correction surgery.

Answer 6

sure can .

Answer 7

I would think so.  The only job that wearing glasses would be a problem is a baseball umpire.   j/k

Answer 8

I cant imagine it otherwise

If you think about it, they wouldnt be able to operate all their trains otherwise and what if someone develops teh need for glasses later in life? They aren't going to fire them, or you would have a bunch of people running around half blind afraid to go to the eye dr.

They need people with good eyesight, you cannot be colorblind though.

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

In the UK, yes.  Just travel by train a few times to see for yourself.

Drivers can also wear glasses, but in both cases, they must pass an eyesight test as part of the regular medical, which goes with the job.

Answer 11

Shouldn't be a problem normally. But, why do you have to wear them in the first place? If you have a serious problem you may not get past the medical testing stage.
