I saw that this question has been somewhat asked in another thread, but it was older and I wanted to see if there had been any updates on the issue.
I am currently 20/30 in the left eye, and 20/40 in the right. While I would be accepted as a SNA, I have read countless stories about people being borderline not being able to pass at OCS on 3.5 hours of sleep. For this reason, I think that it would be best to go ahead and get eye surgery and be safe than sorry.
I know that the Navy is now granting waivers for LASIK surgery, pending a follow up at one of their 10 locations. Are these waivers granted pretty freely, or pretty selectively? I'm wondering if I should get the LASIK and avoid some of the pain and recovery time, or do the PRK and potentially have a higher chance of having a waiver granted?
