Can i become a pilot with...?

[RookiePilot12]

Hi everyone!

I am 20 yo male currently in Illinois, US and decided to become a pilot. Know steps to do for achieving my goal but the only concern that I have is a health condition. I have scoliosis (thoracic scoliosis, right curve, visually can see minor disorders, no influence on my movement and productivity. Doing sports to prevent progressive.) and astigmatism (right eye doesn't have normal objective focus and it requires glasses )
Read faa.gov but didn't find any clear answer on my questions. Hope you will help me.
1. Can I become a pilot of all classifications ( PPL, CPL , Airline pilot etc) with these conditions?
2. Should I try visiting Aviation Surgeon or it will be a waste of money and time ? Saving for gaining PPL
Any suggestions , tips , stories will be helphul .

Thanks,
Sincerely

If there is less than 30 degrees of curvature and there is no restriction to you PFTs (pulmonary functions) you should be able to do this. Above 30 deg. You will eventually have to deal with “the fix” anyway....

Fix you mean by surgery? is it worth it?
