How common is 20/200 vision?!
Question: How common is 20/200 vision?
I am looking to begin the hiring process within the US Marshals when I graduate college here soon, and on the Medical Qualifications on the website, it says:
Uncorrected vision must test 20/200 or better in each eye. (Any surgery to correct vision may be disqualifying dependent on the outcome of the surgery.)
Now I wear glasses, I can see fine with them on (planning on going to the eye doctor soon to get myself some contacts), but when I take my glasses off, its pretty blurry as I am near sighted. I can see where I am going and such, identify colors, etc. but just everything is a little blurry.
I was wondering how common 20/200 vision is? Joining the Marshals is something I have been wanting to do for many years, and I am hoping something this stupid doesn't stop me.
Thanks!

Actually, 20/200 uncorrected vision is very common.
Most people who require even as little as a - 3.00 Diopter correction will already be around 20/200 , or worse. ( uncorrected )
An awful lot of people wear corrections stronger than that...so it is common.

It is not that common but is becoming more and more common as computers are becoming ubiquitous.
be glad you are not me I have 20/465 if my glasses fall off I cannot find them.
