    Yes you are eligible if your problem is possible to correct by lens....
    Criteria for eye sight for IPS:
    6/6 and 6/9 distant vision for good eye...
    6/12 and 6/9 for worst eye...
    Correction is only by lenses.

    Dear physical and medical standards are strictly check by a panel of experts and this is the most necessary part of the recruitment of IPS Officer in India that is why this test is the last stage of your final selection after getting qualified in written examination and personality test and a candidate should have following minimum physical and medical standards to full fill the criteria for IPS Officer post after passing Indian Civil Service Examination

    Height Male - 165 cm for General, OBC and SC. 160 cm for ST category candidates

    Height Female - 150 cm for General, OBC and SC. 145 cm for ST category canidates

    Chest Male - 84 cm and should have expansion of 5 cm

    Chest Female - 79 cm and must have expansion of 5 cm

    Eye Sight - 6/6 or 6/9 distant vision for good eye and 6/12 or 6/9 for worse eye. Near vision should be J 1 for good eye and J 2 for worse eye. The correction is by lenses only

    High standards for the color blind test and should not be any inherent blindness and vision of the eyes should be stereoscopic

    Blood Pressure (High) - Blood pressure is generally measured on the basis of age of the candidate i.e. - Age 23 then blood pressure will be required - 123, Age 24 - 124, Age 25-122, Age 28-124, Age 30-125, Age 32-126, Age 34-127 etc.

    Ear Capacity - Good Listening and Normal Ear Cavity. 1000-4000 frequency and hearing impairment should not be more than 30 decibels

    Nasal - Candidate should not stammer while talking/ speaking/ conversing

    Female candidate should not be pregnant while physical endurance and medical standards otherwise their candidature is liable to be cancelled immediately

    These are the required minimum physical and medical eligibilities and if you have then you can easily apply and become IPS Officer after passing all the required stages

    Dear your ear power can only be measured by a eye expert doctor so you should go to him and note this information and ask for your eligibility and I am sure that doctor will suggest you for right and if you do not find yourself eligible in medical standards then also you can apply for Indian Civil Service Examination and may become IAS Officer on the place of IPS Officer

    All the best

    Friend, as far as the degree of defects which you have mentioned in the query is concerned, your right eye has slightly above defect in vision than the required one. As the required vision standard is +4.0D or -4.0D. But don't worry. Your right is slightly surpassess the permissible limit. You can try to improve the vision naturally by integrated therapy of Ayurveda, Yoga & Pranayam, Eye Exercises and nutrious diet. In ayurveda, there are certain herbs & fruits (like Indian Gooseberry) helps in improving vision, for this consult any ayurvedic doctor. There are certain yogic postures & pranayams which directly affects on eyes and helps in normal functioning of eyes which ultimately helps in regaining better eyesight. Take vitamin C and Vitamin A rich diet for better nutrition to your eye.
