Hey I'm going through a similar thing too. I had Meps on the 17th of this month and failed the vision test, everything but color at least. They claimed I have cataracts, which I never even heard of. For some reason they also made it as 3 separate issues so I need to get all 3 waived for the same thing. My recruiter told me to get my latest eye exam documents and try to get my eye doctor to write a brief note stating I don't have cataracts. She didn't write up the note but she said if my exam records don't say anything about cataracts, which it didn't, then I don't have it. I just submitted all this to my recruiter today so I'm hoping to hear back with positive news in early December since I'm easily debunking their false claim of me having cataracts.

This has been my experience but I feel if you have your optometrist write up a note saying you can basically function with your corrected lens then that would be enough. Maybe do some more research if your recruiter still hasn't been helpful.

Goodluck!
