Default Vision Q's

I had a student ask me these questions so here I post to help him out. Just a side note, I told him to talk to a Navy Aviator so he could get the most current information about the Navy, but I would like to hear your answers.

1.) In the Navy or other branches, what does the vision have to be? As in corrected to 20/20 per eye, or 20/20 collective. This is that he has one eye that is 20/20 and another eye that is lower, but can be corrected to 20/20?
2.) Is their a drop off point where the vision is to bad, that he can not be accepted even if it is corrected to 20/20?
3.) Is there a difference between in the vision of a fighter pilot and a cargo or support pilots eyes?
4.) If it can be corrected, does this include contact or glasses, or some type of eye surgery (if accepted at all)?

Any answers or first hand knowledge would be great.
Thanks for your time.
WildSmurf.
