Yes, but you have to be within a specific vision range to begin with.

I would advise you to contact DODMERB for specific medical qualification questions.

Try Larry Mullen, Deputy Director of DODMERB in the DODMERB section of United States of America Service Academy Forums

Remember, regardless of your SA choice, you will be an officer first and a pilot second. MANY things can cause you to lose "pilot qualified" status over 4 years, so make sure that you will be comfortable serving 5 years AD if you are NOT flying, just in case.
