If you want to get a PPL (Private Pilots License) it doesn't matter that you wear glasses. The only requirement is that you have a Class 2 Medical.

i used to think that u need 6/6 eyesight. but my bro-in-law is short-sighted and after training, he is now a pilot of SIA.
so i think with glasses and ability to read 6/6, that means u've passed the requirement.
