After extensive review with my ophthalmologist, recruiter, and Naval Aerospace Medical Institute, I found out the Navy now allows civilian applicants to undergo LASIK. I attached a pdf information sheet I received.
I was selected in the Nov 2010 boards SNA and had LASIK done 2 weeks ago instead of PRK. The recovery was quite non existent. Few days of scratchy eyes and that was it. Now I can see 20/20.
My recruiter originally did not know LASIK was an option, but helped me look into it deeper to get the answer. I believe it is new that civilian applicants are being allowed to get a waiver with it.
