Question: Is this saying these are the requirements in both eyes?

I have an intra-occular lens in my left eye; a surgical implant. Since I was five years old. It has not hindered me from doing anything (besides meeting requirements to join other forms of civil service, such as the military, police academy, etc.).

I am interested in wildlife fire fighting. But I would like to make it a career, rather than a volunteer service. I read the topic on here about the 100% blind volunteer whom actively takes part in fire sites (tho not as the usual firefighter would, obviously).

In my left eye, the only letter on the eye chart I can read w/o my corrective lenses (glasses) is the big E. With glasses, I can usually make out some of the letters on the second line. I'm telling you this cause I don't know my exact vision ratio. My right eye is corrected to 20/20.

Is there any chance I could get certified and what-not to be a firefighter, granted my other physical conditions are acceptable?
