Hello all,
I searched the PRK/LASIK thread and was unable to find an answer to this question as the reference I have is only 2 years old, but sorry if it has been asked before. I'm an Army guy and got LASIK in my right eye almost 5 years ago to get in standard for my Army flight physical. I am in the process of submitting applications to ANG/AFR units. I've seen the LASIK checklist with the required pre and post-op exams. I had post-op exams after I got my eye done, but the timeline was different the the Air Force's (if I remember it was 1, 2, and 3 months then I got the waiver, not 1, 3, 6, and 12 months). I can probably get a copy of all of the paperwork, but while doing more research I found the following article:
https://www.travis.af.mil/News/Article/1571924/lasik-prk-waivers-not-required/
From what I understand from the article, as long as everything is normal and you are outside of the 12 month window following your procedure, you don't require a waiver. Can anybody who has gone through this process before confirm if that is correct?
Thanks!
