What are the chances my Navy waiver will be approved?

Question

I was medically DQ'd because of a -9.00 refraction in my right eye. My consult recommended my waiver. If it is denied can I still join. My ASVAB score was a 70. Does that help my chances of approval.

Answer 1

If it is denied, you can't join. Since the upper limit of that standard is a refractive error of plus or minus eight diopters, your refractive error is not that far out of range for a waiver to be denied.  

Answer 2

I have a -8.00 in my left eye, yet my right eye is 20/20.  I was told I didn't need a waiver because of my right eye.  I don't know how the Navy works it, but I would guess that depending on your left eye eyesight might play a part in it.  I will say this, it will effect what jobs you will be able to get into.  Just keep trying and see what happens.

Answer 3

is it something laser surgery can fix.  You can take tests to increase your asvab
