I am an SNA applicant with bad eyes. Therefore I need to get PRK done to apply. The question I have is before I get the surgery done, do I need a Navy eye doctor to examine my eyes? I asked my recruiter this via email and he wrote back
"Unfortunately I can’t set you up with an appointment, due to the fact that we can’t promote PRK eye surgery. If something would go wrong with the surgery or you were not selected for the program that you are applying for it will not come back on the Navy. If you read what I sent you it has to be at your own cost and liability. Any doctor should be able to read what I sent you and determine if you are within limits."
Is this correct? I would hate to have the surgery done only to discover that I needed to be OKed by the Navy as an applicant.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
