If i have 20/20 vision in one eye and the other eye doesn't can i still join the Amry or theMarines?

Answer
Dear Brian --

If your vision in your poor eye is correctable to 20/20 with glasses you can enlist.  It may be annoying to wear glasses, when you only need them for one eye, but that's what will be required at least during basic training.  After your training is done, you can see if you are able to wear a single contact lens in your poor eye.

Good luck to you.
