Yes. There is no official document for this but only the GD(P) branch requires 6/6 vision. You don't have to have 6/6 vision for the Engineering/Air Defense/IT branch.

For the preliminary medicalx, they check your height, weight, chest, ENT. A candidate must not have flat feet/knocking knees/gynecomastia/anisometropia.
For the final medical (after ISSB), they check for the same in more details. Also, there are clinical tests for different diseases such as hepatitis.

1) Initial test at I&SC. Intelligence (verbal + non verbal) and subject test. Both consist of MCQs and are computer based tests.
2) Preliminary medical at PAF I&SC.
3) Interview at I&SC. The interview is pretty generic and depth of subject knowledge is not checked.
Successful candidates are given the ISSB forms which they have to submit within a couple of days.
4) Candidates are then called for the ISSB.
5) Candidates recommended by the ISSB are called for the interview at AHQ. The panel consists of officers from your respective branch (e.g. engineering/IT/accounts) and they do test the candidate's subject knowledge.

Finally, a merit list is compiled and successful candidates are sent joining letters instructing them to report to PAF Academy Risalpur where they undergo training for 6 months.

PS: The above procedure if for Short Service Commission (SSC) and Special Purpose Short Service Commission (SPSSC). For permanent commission in GD(P)/AD/CAE, the procedure is slightly different.
