View allmy right eye vision is 6/18 can it improve to normal naturally without glasses or surgery
A 6/18 vision (also known as 20/60) is considered significantly impaired, and it's unlikely to improve to normal (6/6 or 20/20) vision naturally without glasses or surgery. While certain practices can improve vision-related skills and reduce strain, they cannot alter the underlying refractive error causing the blurry vision.

For roles under the B-1 standard, LASIK surgery does not disqualify a candidate, provided they meet the specified vision criteria. Applicants need to ensure that their corrected vision after LASIK adheres to the distance and near vision requirements
