Question
i have a vision problem and i'm using a contact lens i.e,-0.75.Am i eligible to do aeronautics

Answer
Aeronautical engineers do not have to have good eyesight as long as they can communicate with others and a computer.  I had a colleague at NASA who was blind, but he had special software that translated computer text into voice.  The difficult part was reading archive material, which he accomplished through the help of student interns.
