Hello
It seems from the history that you are having refractive error in the form of myopia.
This is not a contraindication for professional degrees. Only for joining jobs in police, army, railways and driving refractive errors are contraindications.
Any body with best corrected visual acuity of 6/18 can do professional course. Hence no need yo worry.

Thank you
