How good of vision do I need to become a pilot or get into the Air Force?
Nate
I've heard that you need 20/20 vision in each eye, but can you have laser surgery? What are the requirements? Thanks
Answer
Research? As in.....external sources? What a great idea!
http://www.airforce.com/contact-us/faq/eligibility/#qualifications-to-fly
Distant visual acuity to be not more than 20/70 each eye correctable to 20/20
Corrective eye surgery could be a disqualifier
Looks like it's not as simple as 20/20 or get lasik....

Their other site says the same thing. Air Force's own sites....
http://www.e-publishing.af.mil/
Go to this site and find AFI48-123 Medical Examinations and Standards for all the details. Looks like the vision standards start around pg 80.

Civil pilot rules are online too.

Cleveland area lasik eye surgery doctors?
Stacey M
I am just begining research on Laser Eye Surgery. I am origianlly from Louisiana and don't know anything about the doctors in the cleveland area that perform this procedure. I have heard that the Cleveland Clinic prides itself on what a great job it does and that people come from all over the world to have eye surgeries done there. If anyone can give me any suggestion or has any info about the cleveland clinic or can recommend any doctor I would appreciate it.
Answer
I recommend you use our 50 Tough Questions For Your Lasik Doctor to help evaluate a potential surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic. I believe you will find the senior surgeon there will pass with flying colors.
