I am a recruit for 11B at the moment and will be attending Ranger school eventually but I had a few concerns on the vision portion. I had a eye exam and they said i was correctable to around 20/20 in my left eye and 20/25 in my right. I asked my recruiter and he said i should be fine but I just wanted to get a second opinion.

Im 14 126lbs and I ride horses. And sometimes when I ride horses my vision goes black and I feel dizzy? And then it happens when I’m just walking. Then it happens when I get up to quickly too. Im on a healthy diet for my age. What is it?
Oh and this has been happening for the last year or longer.

I’ve been under a lot of stress and anxiety over the past few months. Now my vision seems to be foggy and blurry and I am very fatigued. I am 28 and have two small babies and am taking 3 college courses. Any ideas what this could be? Help, I feel like I have some kind of disease.
Also I seem really sensitive to sunlight and bright indoor lights. I had LASIK eye surgery done about 2.5 years ago.

I’ve been wearing contacts for most of my life. But now I have an astigmatism and the lenses to correct it sometimes shift, causing blurry vision. I’m afraid this will happen while I’m driving. Laser surgery is too expensive right now, so I’m thinking of getting eyeglasses to use while driving. My concern is that the glasses will interfere with my peripheral vision. Not a problem most of the time, but will it affect my driving?
