The meaning of the word “glasses” wherever used above is to be interpreted as not covering contact glasses.)

salam to all,
Can someone tell what exactly is the nature of medical test in css, any poersonal experiances??
regards,
bokhary

Frankly with this number You have No Problem. So do'nt worry.

I suffer from Ablyopia(lazy eye) in left eye, my right eye is in perfect shape but the vison is Bleary in left eye even with glasses, am i eligble for CSS?// Kindly inform me

Hi I am a new user and i want to know that the number of my glassess is -5. Am i eligible or not

aoa

I have same problem as adnan has described above. I have a perfect right eye but my left eye is weak since birth, even with glasses. I dont feel any problem in my vision ever. I wonder if i am not eligible or what will be decision abt my sight??

As we know, even blind people can qualify for selective number of groups in css, i think, if someones eye sight is found below prescribed standard, he will be allowed to at least go for all those groups at least, for whom disabled persons can go for.?? I want to know what really to expect according to rules... Can anyone help

Regards
Haider

I think the rule of better eye - worse eye in medical test in CSS is wrong and needs improvement. It should only be that person should be able to do civil service job without any hinderance. He may have one perfect eye and other eye blind - this will disqualify him, even if he is extraordinarily talented for CSS and civil service job. For example, that if someone has one perfect eye and other eye which is too weak and it does not improve to that same standard using glasses, as given in CSS rules for medical examination, if he has to be disqualified in medical test - this is wrong if he can do everything with one perfect eye.

Also a blind candidate in 2007 CSS got 6th positions and got to Foreign service group even though its mentioned in CSS rules that disabled personnel can only get to: a. trade and commerce b. accounts group c. information group d. postal group. I want to know why that exception happenned. Did she apply to President to waive this rule, in light of her extraordinary performance or FPSC itself waive it for her???

This rule should be revised. If blind people can work in foreign service, why not a relaxation in the better eye - worse eye rule, so that people do not unnecessarily get disqualified.

Anyone can share views..


I have emailed fpsc on 'fpsc@fpsc.gov.pk'. Kindly all who share my views and / or have eye sight problems should email fpsc so that this suggestion gets to them effectively.

I met an experienced eye specialist, who has been part of css medical board. He told me that people like me with one myopic eye(one weak eye) get selected in all groups other then police group. Even if such people get unfit verdict from initial medical exam, they can call for a medical board and prove that this is not a disabilty that can effect job as CSP. Such cases have come in past and have successful been CSPs. So no problem in this regard.

Hello friends!

I'm suffering from Congenital Nystagmus - a condition charachterized by the involuntory movement of eyes. I have to use a magnifier for reading, have never been able to see the board in class, and (with the-trouble-is voice now) my vision cannot be corrected by glasses, contact lenses or surgeries. In sum, I'm visually impaired!

Having read the vision requirements listed above, I can very well understand that the stakes are very high for me. But.... I've read it some where that there's a 'Disability Quota'. Can I go for CSS Exam as a disabled person? And I know that through this quota, you happen to compete against groups that are least opted for. I'd love to test my wings in any case.
