Lasik Plaza

chocolateorange asked:


Does anyone know the RAF’s latest position on becoming a Pilot with laser eye surgery? I think the US Air Force now allows people who have had LASIK procedures, and I read somewhere the RAF would allow those to have it if they have been selected for training or something?
Please help!

lasik procedure

DKT001 asked:


I am getting my packet together for OCS(college Op), and I really want to branch Aviation, but I don’t want to be a Warrant Officer. So the rules say that you have to take the AFAST and have a flight physical before you get to OCS so they can have time to review the application. With all that being said, I wear contacts and i know that there are some big rules pertaining to vision requirements for pilots. Now, I know the Army will pay to have the lasik procedure done, but I have to be in the army for them to do it. Now this is the sticky part; If I go in with bad vision with out getting lasik before hand I will have to branch something else(Right?) But if I get the lasik by a civilian doctor there is like a really long waiting period before I can be let in. So it seems like I am screwed either way. Please let me know if I have all this iformation correct or if I am wrong.

Thanks again
Kyle
