Am I Eligible To Wear Contacts With This Vision?
For a particular interview, it is required that the candidate's total amount of myopia(including cylinder) not exceed -4D. However, it is also mentioned later that correction with contact lenses or intraocular implants is not a bar to employment provided prescribed conditions are met. My glasses power is around -6D. Am I eligible if I wear contacts? I'm confused!!

Hello
As you have mentioned that the eligibility criteria is uoto -4 dioptres of myopia and since as per the history you have mentioned you are having -6 dioptres of myopia.
Hence it seems you are not eligible as the refractive error is more in your case than the maximum allowed.
Sine it is mentioned that maximum refractive error that is allowed is up to 4 andfor which you can wear contacts or glasses and as you are having -6 you are not eligible for this interview.
Thank you
