All,
Just got off the phone today to schedule the procedure... the surgery center said the procedure got signed off as of yesterday (7 MAY) for Naval Aviators. You have to get a consult from your squadron aero-optometrist, and they will send it to them. Good news is that as an aviator, you are Pri-1 on their list. I hope this is good news for any of you thinking of having this done (as opposed to PRK).
BTW, you are only med down for TWO weeks... Can't beat that.
