Everything is fine with you but the spectacles may cause problem. You should have clear vision without glasses. But this is curable. You can have a laser operation for it after you qualify the written test. The operation cost is around 50 grands but it may vary.
Kindly refer a good eye hospital. You will get complete details over there.

To get selected in NDA your height and weight should be mathed, for eg, if your height is 162cm then your weight should be precisely 50kgs. your height and weight is good. And your eyesight is also up to the mark but don't allow your eyesight to go farther.
