I was also 16 in '99, and was sat in front of a careers officer, saying I wanted to join the RAF. They too told my that my eyesight had to be perfect, and given I'm long sighted on one side, and short sighted on the other (no correction ever needed), I wouldn't make it. That said, I've still had a good life, and I pass on to my kids the attitude of "make them say no". Fwiw, RAF rules are that any correction must be within +8 to -7 in any meridian.
