Well you can try to come on a visit visa and then convert that to a work visa after a medical in Bahrain. However, an eye test is still done. And for jobs which require good vision, they will still mark you as UNFIT.

An alternative is UAE where vision is not an issue for most jobs but again, you will have to go there on visit visa as GAMCA will still mark you as UNFIT.
