Police recruitments apply stricter eyesight standards than desk jobs — both distant and near vision are tested.
Most notifications require 6/6 or 6/9 vision, with or without glasses as per the post’s rules.
Colour blindness is generally a disqualification for police and railway operational posts.
Laser or corrective surgery is accepted only if the notification allows it and the surgery is old enough.
Always check the medical standards annexure of the official notification before applying.
