I am having an eye sight of -3 cylindrical. So I want to know that is there any possibility to get selected in CDS physical exam.

One must satisfy the physical and medical standards to get selected in CDS.

* With or without glasses the candidate must be able to read 6/6 distant vision chart.

* The Myopia should be not more than 3.5D including astigmatism.

* As you have cylindrical eye means you have astigmatism.

If you meet the above criteria then you will get selected in CDS.
