Answer 3

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "less than -3.0", but here's the rules for civilian flying in the United States:

For private recreational flying, you must have 20/40 vision or better, corrected or uncorrected.

For commercial flying, you must have 20/20 vision (or better), corrected or uncorrected.

There is no longer any requirement for uncorrected vision except for the military.  You just need to be correctable to those standards.
