It is true that it is desired from the candidate that he must have good eye sight. As a general rule, it is required that candidate must have eye sight of 6/6 in good eye and 6/12 in worse eye. But the degree/level of error in your eye sight mentioned in your query is under the permissible limit. You do not have to worry over it. There is no any doubt over your candidature in terms of your vision.

As far as the minor weakness in your eye sight is concerned, you may go for improving your vision in a natural way or through yoga or through ayurveda.

You should try to improve your eye sight naturally. You can use some herbs such as Emblica Officinalis, Triphala etc which are useful in improving eye sight if used for long time continously after taking cnsultation of any ayurvedic doctor. There are certain Yogic Postures and Pranayams which directly improves the eye sight.
