I had successful PRK in May. I just went in today for my 3 month checkup. My vision is stable at 20/20 combined, 20/20 right, and 20/15 left. I would recommend the surgery to anyone, whether they are gunning for flight or anything else. I got the surgery knowing there was a 6 month waiting period to get PQ'd for OCS. Currently that puts me at mid-November before I can qualify. However, talking to my OR this week he said that I should talk to my doctor, and ask him if he sees a need to wait 3 more months. My doctor said he saw no reason as my vision has been stable for 2 months and I am no longer on any medications or eyedrops. My OR said he should put that in my packet to submit to MEPS and see if they will see me early. I have already been pro-rec'd so this would really just help my process along. Has anyone else ever tried this or heard of anyone having success in getting the 6 month waiting period waived?
