I know they say that you cant become a pilot if you have high degrees on both eyes but how about low degrees but with moderate astigmatism. Any information will help. Plus i would also like to know if Lasik can cure astigmatism or if wearing glasses regularly wil improve the condition?

Can A Person With 20/30 Vision Be An Airline Pilot?

Okay my goal is to be an airline pilot, I am currently in flight school for my PPL. I got my first class medical about a year ago and i had 20/20. About 5 months ago I began to see far away words as being blurred, and I recently found out that I have minor astigmatism that prevents me from seeing clearly at far distances so I am told to be 20/30 now. If I get corrections like contacts or glasses should I still have a chance at becoming an airline pilot?
Bonus!: Why did I go from 20/20 to a 20/30 in less then a year?
