hey all,
I know that I found it extremely difficult to find out anything in regards to eyesight for special forces so I thought I'd share my new found info with you all. Provided you check up with everything else, you are fine to get in as SAS/Commando/Rifleman with vision correction contact lenses or glasses (within a certain range...) and with a colour perception of 2 (mild colour blindness).

Same test as Iam sure you have seen before; Pick out the number in the coloured dots, if you cant see them you wont have much chance.

I don't really know what the policy is on colour blindness, it would have to exclude you from doing certain jobs, depends on what job you were going for mate, they might find something that your able to do with colour blindness.

Not much point in stressing about it, do the test and see how you go, it's not like you can train for it.

Despite some sections being open to the public, the forum still enjoys the membership and advice of respected members of the Special Forces and Special Operations Forces both local and international, as well as those from elite specialities in the conventional forces. From recruit training right up to SF selection tips - if it's frank and honest advice you're after, you'll find it here.
