Youi do not need 20/20 vision. It simply has to be *correctable* to 20/40. I.e. you can wear glasses or contacts.

You should reword this question or take it down. You’re dead wrong about type 1 diabetics not being able to get pilot’s licenses. You can get a class 3 as an insulin dependent diabetic. Reword your question or take it down please
