Eyesight Criteria for IPS Recruitment

The eyesight criteria for IPS (Indian Police Service) recruitment in India may vary slightly from year to year, and it is always advisable to refer to the official notification or website for the most up-to-date information. However, based on the general criteria that have been followed in the past, here is an overview:

  1. Visual Acuity: The minimum acceptable visual acuity for distant vision is 6/6 or 20/20 in the better eye and 6/9 or 20/30 in the worse eye. Candidates should not have color blindness or night blindness.
  2. Refractive Errors: Refractive errors, such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism, should not exceed the following limits:
    • Myopia (including cylinder): -4.00 D (including cylinder)
    • Hypermetropia (including cylinder): +4.00 D (including cylinder)
    • Manifest astigmatism: ±2.00 D
    • Anisometropia: ±2.00 D
  3. Color Blindness: Candidates should not suffer from congenital color blindness. They should be able to distinguish and recognize colors properly.
  4. Binocular Vision: Candidates should have binocular vision and good stereoscopic vision (depth perception). The absence of binocular vision, a squint, or any other morbid condition of the eyes or lids that is likely to interfere with the normal binocular vision or cause double vision may lead to disqualification.

It is important to note that these criteria are provided as a general guideline and could be subject to change. For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the eyesight criteria for IPS recruitment, it is recommended to refer to the official notification or guidelines issued by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).

Why LASIK for IPS Recruitment?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) can be beneficial for IPS (Indian Police Service) recruitment as it allows candidates to correct their refractive errors and meet the required eyesight criteria. LASIK surgery can reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses, providing candidates with improved visual acuity and convenience during exams, training, and their duties as IPS officers.

Having clear vision without the reliance on visual aids can be advantageous for IPS officers, who may need to perform tasks that require good visual acuity and quick decision-making in various environments.

Eyemantra, a renowned eye care center, is a preferred choice for LASIK surgery for IAS recruitment due to its expertise and reputation. Eyemantra offers advanced LASIK technology, highly skilled surgeons, and a track record of successful procedures. By choosing Eyemantra, candidates can trust that they will receive specialized care, personalized attention, and excellent post-operative support, ensuring the best possible visual outcomes for their IAS career aspirations.
