Hey,
I'm in high school right now and I want to become a pilot in the navy. I have a 4.0 GPA and am in good physical condition. My only shortfall is my eyesight. Right now I need corrective lenses with -4.00 diopters in both eyes. (I think that turns into 20/400 vision, but I'm not sure). Good news is, I don't have an astigmatism. So, my question is: since I'm looking at attending the academy, and they offer free PRK to a second class mid who wants SNA, what pre-op requirements do I have to meet in order to A.) get the procedure and B.) get a waiver and enter flight training? Any advice in this field is welcome appreciated.
Thanks
