It's good cape weather, cool, breezy
I am still in High school but I have been researching te process of becoming a pilot in the Navy/Marines for a while now. My eyes are 20/30ish (going for an eye exam within 2 weeks) and they have been slowly worsening each year. I am interested in not having to wear contacts or glasses, so I am obviously drawn to PRK surgery because it is approved by the military.
I am going to try and apply for a Marine PLC pilot contract freshmen year at college, which is about a year and a half from now. I am just trying to see if PRK would be a good investment say 5-6 years down the line when hopefully if I am qualified I get sent to flight school. Does anyone know if the military will keep the waiver for PRK around in 5 years?
Also if I contract for PLC and my vision is still under 20/40 and correctable with glasses but then worsens through college would I be able to get PRK and be waivered? Anyone had any experience with this?
