I ma interested in joining the US Army. There is one question that concerns me the most. I have a vision defect: RIGHT EYE 20/70 LEFT EYE 20/50 (with glasses my defect is eliminate to 20/20 - both eyes). I need somebody who can interpret the following e-mail ,reply on my e-mail which I wrote via Goarmy.com website. On my question (same as below) they answered

To enlist distant vision must correct to at least one of the following. 20/40 in one eye, and 20/70 in the other eye or 20/30 in one eye and 20/100 in the other eye, or 20/20 in one eye and 20/400 in the other eye. Diopters must be less than -8.00 but may be waiverable to -10.00.

I have 20/50 in one eye and 20/70 in the other eye. And here come my doubts.

Do the values mentioned above refer to the person with glasses or contacts, or without them.

Is it possible to start the enlisting procedure despite my eyes defect (I want to join an Infantry), please be specific. I am calling for help.
