If it's not for army, the other jobs accept the best corrected vision as 6/6 with correction and normal color vision.
But your criteria says only hypermetropia & hypermetropic astigmatism(not myopia or myopic astigmatism) is acceptable...In that case, you are not eligible because you are myopic with myopic astigmatism.
