Hey guys
I was just wondering what custom PRK is. I am considering PRK this summer. I have an issue with astigmatism -4.75 my vision is 20/50 both eyes. What was your vision or level of astigmatism or the reasons behind custom PRK. I was wondering if their was anyone that had a worst astigmatism than me -4.75. I have already discovered that the Navy and Airforce will not accept pilots with worst than a -3.00 astigmastism, but don't know about the Marines or Coast guard. Also if anyone on this site would like to know I found out that the Army will take anyone with PRK or LASIK even with astigmatism's worst than 3.00 as long as it corrects it to -1.00. Uncorrected vision can be no worst than 20/50. The Army also pushed up their age limit to 32 but I heard of guys getting in as old as 39 but with guard units.
