Q: Myopia Solution For Pilots!!!
asked by:

I am 23 years old and the dream of my life, since I was a child, is to be a fighter pilot in the air force.
I am about to enroll in the army's flight school, but there is one little problem that puts me out of the game: 0.25 of myopia in each eye! (since I was 15 or so, and it neither got lower nor got higher so far)
every optometrist said I see perfectly and I don't need glasses, but the optometrist of the air force said I can only fly helicopters because I have to wear glasses, of -0.25 dioptry on each eye!!!
In the eye examination I could read the last line of numbers/letters with each eye separatedly at every doctor/optometrist, but in the air force it seems like the last line was half the size of the civil optometrist last line (i'm serious) and I couldnt read it without the aid of the 0.25 or 0.50 lenses.
That's is so little but enough to not let me fly an f-16 or f-15 that I want so much...
Is there anything I could do to resolve this problem? Any medicine? Any eye drops to use before the test at the optometrist?
Any natural herbs? I still have about 6 months before the next eye exam - the final one...I'm desperated for a solution!

Does anyone hear about gaia enhancement vision formula?
Its about natural herbs, it seems that the
use of these capsules help improve eye vision, but the fda didn't check it...
(vitamin a zinc vitamin c bilberry grape seed lutein ginkgo)
is this true?
