Dear Timoty,

Hi and thanks for your answer .

I'm under compulsory military service for my country Police Force,
and the only way to get out is to be medically exempted. .

I know nothing about the possible solutions to my request but somehow i got this idea that if I wear a new pair of glasses with the number of 5 on each eye, it may works for me ! what are the surgical options?
please help me ! in my condition , "No" is not an option !

thanks in advance
my best

No way that I know of IMHO. Why in the world would you need more?
