So I have some questions about lasik/prk and Naval aviators. So let's say someone has bad eyesight but meets the requirements of the corneal refractive surgery requirements (Refractive limits, ansiometropia).
But does not meet the requirements of the SNA standards (pre-op), but after lasik/prk would meet the SNA requirements
Would he have a chance at all? I mean if someone does not have 20/40 (pre-op), is he disqualified and cannot be saved by surgery?
Or if he meets the requirements for refractive surgery (+3.00 to -8.00 SE, Cylinder: ≤ 3.00D, Anisometropia ≤ 3.50D) can he be qualified after getting lasik/prk and be saved?
I don't fully understand, could someone help me out?
Thanks (I searched around the forums but could not find my answer)
