The vision requirements vary between services and from time to time (depending on need) but 1.50 would probably be near 20/100, and 2.5 would be worse than that. I think you would need laser vision surgery to even apply, but the diopter measure is a measure of the shape of the cornea...if the rest of your eye was really awesome you might be able to see 20/70, so you might want to get that checked (you eye doctor should have the info from your last prescription).
