Searched the forums and wasn't able to find any info on this, apologies if my search skills are sub par. Also talked to my flight Doc and still have some questions.
I'm currently in phase I of jets and have roughly 20/40 in my left eye - some form of astigmatism. I have slowly started noticing the bluriness and have been forced to start using my glasses. Have tried contacts but can't stand them. The Doc mentioned that Lasik has gotten to a point where you're only med down for two weeks after the op, assuming you go through the Navy appointed surgeons. I'm very interested in pursuing this option after winging, especially as there will likely be a few month wait at the Rag since production has ramped up.
I will have an appointment with my optometrist in a few months and will bring it up with him/her but am wondering if any of you have gone down this path. How was your experience? Any advice on what I should be doing to start the process and get on the waitlist?
