Do I need to have an eyesight of 6/6 to work on a cruise ship in a customer serv!
Question: I have been offered a training opportunity on a cruise ship. However I got my left eye injured when I was 11. My left eye was operated upon for stitches and for the eye lens. I had to go undergo cataract surgery as well later on. Since then my eye is as good as normal. Just that I wear glasses. My right eye is 6/6 after glasses but not the left eye. The vision is good but still not 6/6. Am I medically fit for working on a cruise ship or any other similar job?

6/6 is metric acuity for 20/20. The US is not metric, the rest of the world is.
For a useful answer you will have to ask the recruiting department of the cruise line. Personally, I can't think of any reason why a customer service worker would need 6/6 in both eyes but the cruise line may have their reasons.
umm i think yur ok as long as yu got glasses to at least do enough for your right.... how bad is the left???
if ur in canada go to great glasses they fix everything lol
I'm not sure what you mean by 6/6 I think 20/20 with corrective glasses is enough.
