PRK Waiver Process

[Bernie Kosar]

Once you have the PRK eye surgery done can you apply for an air contract with the Marines and have the waiver pending (or do you have to wait until you are officially approved for the waiver to apply for the air contract)?

I appreciate the help!

After your vision has stabilized and it has been at least 3 months (I think) you can apply for the waiver PRIOR to your application. If you have the time to wait, you can do it that way.

I am only 2 months post-op with 20/15, and I will be getting my flight physical and putting in for my PRK waiver as soon as I hit 3 months, even though it will be next spring before I put in for ECP.

The link to the NAMI waiver site is here at least 10 times.
