I'm sure pushing the trolly up and down on a plane is a lot less taxing on the eyes than driving the thing...

I was on an EK flight from Dubai to Birmingham yesterday...one of the trolly girlies was wearing eye glasses throughout the flight. This surely answers your question.

rebecca_lass

am a crew with EK....yes you are allowed to wear lenses but u also have to bring along ur glasses just in case. It's no problem. I wear lenses, They will do an eye test on you when you join. And EK clinic will issue a letter for u to bring along to work, stating that you need eye glasses. Thing is, in air eyes will get quite dry so sometimes some crews do wear glasses to work

lolitta

ok I see Sandman6, thank you :)

lolitta

Hi,I have myopia and I think it is a very common thing now days. Airlines would be silly to single out potential crews coz of that. As i explained, an eye test will be done on you at the clinic when EK has accepted you. If your myopia is serious, they will issue a letter for u, stating that you have to bring ur eye glasses to work. Just as long as you dont have colour blindness, it's fine

lolitta

no I haven't a colour blindness, thank you very much Rebecca :)
have a nice day

lolitta

Thank you so much Thomas

Hey, Just checked out on the rules and regulation for the cabin crew and its seems that you are allowed to wear lenses unless you have too severe optic impairment.. So you can leave the worries a side :)

Hi there,

Yes they hire potential candidates even if they wear lenses. Please visit www.gcaa.gov.ae and check out the requirements for Class 1 Aero medical test which is putforth by General Civil Aviation Authority in UAE. This test is required for cabin crew whereas for Deck crew they must undergo much tougher test ( CLASS 3).

All the best.

Cabin crew or flight attendants wear eye contacts and eyes glasses all the time :)

Airlines should understand that we are humans not robots ;)
