Hi All,
Looking for some advice here, as I am absolutely not giving up on this. I had PRK completed back in 2012 and haven't had a single issue since. I received a Guard UPT slot after serving my time in the Marine Corps. I was just informed that I was PDQ'd at MEPS which was a huge shock to both me and my recruiter, and I am aware that PDQ is pretty much a death sentence. Turns out the refraction error they came up with after my outside consultation was +.25 outside the allowable difference from a recent eye exam (in one eye only). This recent exam was a month prior, and unfortunately for me stated both eyes were Plano. Long story short I just found my original eye doctor did not include accurate exam results (refraction) due to such negligible corrections. Sadly I was unaware at the time since he had me labeled as Plano and trusted it was 100% accurate. The auto-refract from that appointment shows a refract in line with what the MEPS consult provided, so I have some proof of a mistake.
I have since had 2 more eye exams, ensuring they were at least 2 weeks after the MEPS consult (in accordance to RS waiver guide). One of these being with my original doctor and another with completely different one. Full refraction was completed and again, was within +/-.50 diopters of the MEPS consult.
Original Paperwork (problem): Plano Plano
MEPS Consult: OD: -.25 +.50 x 90 OS: -.50 +.75 x 90
Recent appt 1: OD: -25 x 180 OS: -50 x 180
Recent appt 2: OD: -.25 + .50 x 90 OS: -.50 + .75 x 90
How can I fight this after what has come up? I am looking for any opinions or thoughts. I am fighter by nature, and I just want the chance to get an FC1 completed. If I DQ there, I DQ. It'd be a shame to be fully qualified and denied the dream and opportunity due to something like this.
These last appointments were done in accordance with the RS Waiver Guide from WP other than dilation, and show a stable refraction.
