I cant recall where I heard/read about this (I think it was some doc about Wehrmacht and some guy wanted to serve in the navy, but couldnt get in because of his sight), anywho before/early war you had to have perfect sight to get to the Kriegsmarine (not just Ubootwaffe), but as the war progressed, the requirements were lowered significantly.
Now I know why your not acceptable to your army.

It's not the fact you've got a dodgy knee but more due to the fact your vision has become impaired as a result of all those hand exercises

They were willing to forgive my vision, but they said that all the hair growing in my palms would freeze during the winter and my hand might get stuck to the RK's metal parts.
