I got accepted to BDCP/SNA with PRk.

Did/world anybody use PRK to correct a minor vision problem for SNA apps? Say 20/40?

 

[jpfarsider]

I thought it was uncorrected 20/20 for SNA apps. Or, can you apply at 20/40 and have it corrected later?

 

[stevew]

for SNA it must be CORRECTABLE to 20/20. Meaning that if you have 20/40 you can still fly as long as you wear glasses that correct your vision to 20/20. If you have some type of condition where you will never be able to see 20/20 even with glasses on this would disqualify you from SNA. PRK is for the people who have worse vision than 20/40, those people require PRK to improve their vision to be eligible for a pilot slot.

I hope this clears things up.

Thanks for the info. I just hope I my vision hasn't slipped to 20/60!
