Blind/marines: I am sorry to say that to get in the marines you need good vision in both eyes, you will be medically rejected for sure.

Disqualifying: Dr khanna is correct. The standard states "vision must be correctable (with glasses) to a minimum of one of the following: (1) 20/40 in one eye and 20/70 in the other eye. (2) 20/30 in one eye and 20/100 in the other eye. (3) 20/20 in one eye and 20/400 in the other eye..".
