Correctable to 20/20: If the vision is normal (correctable to 20/20 with normal depth perception and no blind spots or visual field defects), this should not limit a persons ability to become a retinal surgeon. The 12 years of training is important, too :).

Good: One needs good (20/20) vision in each eye, and both eyes have to work well together for good depth perception (stereopsis).
