Greetings all, Im currently a freshman in college and I want to become a naval aviator(pilot) in the Marine Corps. I have a pretty good understanding of PLC/OCC/OCS, etc...... Im not exactly sure of what my distance visual acuity is uncorrected. But, the diopters for my eyes on my contacts box are -9.0 and -10.0. I heard that I could get PRK surgery from a civilian doctor which could meet the Naval medical standards. Would I even be qualified to get PRK surgery from a civilian doctor? Am I even qualified for surgery with my diopters? I spoke to an NFO in the Navy who visited my school and he claimed that prk surgery(no matter how crappy your vision is) is waiverable. Im still very uncertain and I need as much help as possible. I'd appreciate any answers. Even, if this means that I gotta let to of my dream.
