Hello, This is a very important and specific question. Based on the current medical standards for entry into the National Defence Academy (NDA), a corrected eyesight of -3.0 D unfortunately makes you ineligible for the Army wing.

The Specific Eyesight Standards for NDA (Army Wing)

The armed forces have very strict visual standards, which are different for the Army, Navy, and Air Force. For the Army, the key limits are related to Myopia (nearsightedness) and Hypermetropia (farsightedness).

  1. Myopia (Nearsightedness) Limit: The maximum permissible refractive error is -2.5 D.
  2. Hypermetropia (Farsightedness) Limit: The maximum permissible error is +2.5 D.

Your Situation: Your spectacle power of -3.0 D is beyond the acceptable limit of -2.5 D for myopia.


I hope you found this information helpful.
