I find myself in a bit of a predicament and could use advice from anyone with experience or perspective relating to my situation. I'm currently AD Coast Guard and just finished applying for OCS and am confident I have a solid chance of getting picked up. I am planning on applying for aviation but I have run into a problem. Before I enlisted, I received PRK surgery and did not disclose this to the CG. I was told that a waiver would take months and that no doctor could ever tell if you have had PRK once I'd healed. My eyes have no issues (20/15) but I have recently learned that it CAN be detected through a corneal topography, a procedure that is mandatory for class 1 physical for flight duty. Does anyone know how big of a shitstorm it would cause if I just leveled with my Doc and came clean? Would they try to jam me up for fraudulent enlistment or auto-DQ me for flight? I imagine it's largely dependent on the individual Doc, but what is the best way to proceed here? Is it less big of a deal than I think or am I SOL? Any guidance would be helpful.
