My vision has been 20/20 most of my life - it has unfortunately worsened over the past couple of years due to heavy computer usage and constant reading on my part. I went to an optometrist recently and I'm currently at 20/40 (the cut-off), although my left eye seems to be a bit worse.
The dilemma I'm facing now is whether I should apply for SNA (USMC), take my chances and potentially risk getting a NAMI-whammy down the road if my vision were to worsen more, or just playing it safe and getting PRK before the whole process. The optometrist I met with suggested I wait another year and get my eyes tested again then, to see if my eyesight is still changing (worsening) first.
One option I thought of would be going through MEPS first, and seeing if my vision is truly 20/40 (and not 20/50, let's say).
Any input would be appreciated.
