I don't think that you can be rated as a military aviator if you require corrective lenses. Somebody correct me if qualifications have changed.

That wasn't the case during the Vietnam War, or I would have probably flown choppers. IIRC, an aviation recruiter gave us a pitch after we had a Huey familiarization flight during Infantry AIT.

When I was still in the Infantry, I checked the Air Force and Navy. Their qualifications would have restricted folks with corrective lenses who wanted to fly to the navigator/bombadier position in a two seater.
