I’m looking for a little clarification on the NAMI waiver guide and it’s requirements regarding PRK surgery.
The guide (attached a screenshot) lists the pre-op refractive limits for SNA’s under “applicants”, but then also lists separate limits under “Class I, II, III, and IV” for both PRK and LASIK. For PRK it states “no limit (must be performed at a DOD refractive surgery center)”. This is a little confusing to me as it seems to imply that PRK is disqualifying unless done by specifically by the military. Or is the guide merely stating that unless the surgery is done by the military, the applicant will be required to meet the normal refractive limits? I’m a civilian applicant but need PRK (not eligible for LASIK) to qualify.
