I don't know. They had to have at least second class medical cartificates to apply, and I THINK that means that they were correctable to 20/20.
In my opinion what UAL was afraid of was the legal liability if they had an accident. Can you imagine a lawyer standing up in front of a jury and saying something like "And ladies and gentlemen, the defendant hired this Captain knowing that she was LEGALLY BLIND". You just know the jury is going to return a verdict that could break the company.
