Absolutely. In my later career, I flew both HH-60 helicopters and A-10 Warthogs with the requirement to wear glasses or contact lenses. The "catch" is vision must be correctable to 20/20 and there is also an uncorrected limit which cannot be exceeded. I don't remember what the uncorrected limit is.
