For defense services like Indian Air Force...

the authorities will be very strict according to physical standards

as per my knowledge you are not eligible as flying officer..

because you already have spectacles

they will not allow you for this ...

but don't get disheartened you don't have chance in only as flying officer but you can try into many other fields of airforce according to your qualification

so try for the best job..

all the best

HI.
For Defence services you have to medically fit.
After passing you engineering you can apply for I.A.F.
For this you have to qualify the C.D.S exam.

C.D.S exam is conducted by U.P.S.C twice in a year.

There are three steep of selection:-

ALL THE BEST!
