Anything higher than say 20/40 In strongest eye uncorrcted precludes me from entering a surgical practice like OB/GYN or Opthamology?

I've never heard of restrictions to uncorrected. The only job I can think of that may deny you as uncorrected is a pilot in the air force.
Though, perhaps someone who is further along in the process could chime in.
I do know that many schools have a physical competency requirements that are pretty basic. But wearing glasses or contacts wouldn't be an issue.

I would say it sound like you may not be from the US, and technical/physical requirements for occupations vary everywhere

So long as your vision corrects and you are able to operate safely I don’t see any issue.
That said, I have heard of people who had other Ophtho conditions that prevented them from using the microscope and therefore precluded them from finishing training in a micro heavy field. I can’t recsll details as I didn’t know them personally, but I was told that was their reason for leaving their program and transferring into a prestigious program in another field
