[PRK and LASIK Information]

My recruiter's been a bit absentee so i'm hoping you guys can clear some things up.  I'm currently blind as a bat and will need LASIK to meet the minimum requirements for Pilot/CSO. My question is, is there any chance of disqualifying myself by having LASIK done as a civilian? Should I wait until I've been selected or am I safe to do the procedure and fill out the waiver?

I figured if I'm going to need the procedure anyway I might as well get it out of the way. Also, from what I have read(attached document) I should fall into acceptable "range" for pre-op astigmatism and spherical numbers.

My current contact prescription:

RT: BC: 8:70, Dia: 14:50, Sphere: -1.50, Cylinder: -1.75, Axis: 010

LT: BC: 8:70, Dia: 14:50, Sphere: -4.00 , Cylinder: -.75, Axis: 150

Someone offered to fund a lasik procedure for me and I would like to do it now and get it over with, as I am currently putting a package together for a UPT slot at various guard units.

Can someone please confirm that the form in the above quote is the most recent?

I do not want to do anything that would DQ me for a fighter position, so if anyone has any specific advice I would appreciate it (I have lurked on this thread a while and the only important thing seems to be meeting the pre-op requirements)
