Yes, you can join NDA even though you wear spectacles. However, you have to fulfil the criteria (Visual standards) defined below: Visual Standards: The distance vision (corrected) should be 6/6 in one eye (6/9 in worse eye). Myopia should not be more than 2.5 D and hypermetropia not more than 3.5 D including Astigmatism. Internal examination of the eye will be done by means of ophthalmoscope to rule out any disease of the eye. A candidate should have good binocular vision. The colour vision standard will be (CP-III) for Army. A candidate should be able to recognize red and green colours. Candidates will be required to produce certificates that neither he nor any member of his family has suffered from congenital night blindness. Candidates who have undergone or have the evidence of having undergone Radial Keratotomy, to improve the visual acuity will be permanently rejected for all the Services. Candidates who have undergone Laser Surgery for correction of a refractive error are also not permitted to defence services. Regards.

Your vision should at least be better than 9/16. It is the least acceptable eye vision ability.
