Is it possible to retake the medical exam?

[sgrv]

Hello,

My wife and I recently took our medical exams. However, in the eye test, my wife could only read up to the 6/24 mark with her glasses on.

Will this be an issue in our application?

Could we get her eyes tested, get new glasses, and retake the medical test with a new UMI number? Or is this possible only if CIC requests it?

We are in the post-ITA stage.

Why? Poor eyesight is a very common problem. It isn't a public health or safety hazard nor is it likely to result in excessive demand on Canadian health services. I am not an eye doctor but I believe that 6/24 doesn't even come close to "legal blindness". I think you are overworrying

Thank you! Yes, if anything, we're glad to realize that we really need to get her some new glasses

Where do you get the UMI#? CIC only gave us UCI and IEM # on the report
