lasik eye surgery for military

Q. I am 20 years old. I've had glasses since i was about 16 or 17. I am seriously looking into Lasik eye surgery because i hate wearing my glasses ( i am near sighted)
Recently it seems as though my eyes have gotten worse. My glasses work fine when i have them on, but i've been noticing that when i dont wear them, its getting harder & harder to see things i once could.
Question is, how old are you supposed to be to get this done? If i get it done now, and say a year or two down the road it starts getting worse again do they do 'free touch ups?'
Also, if anyone knows, how does sitting in front of a computer affect your eyes? I'm a writer, so i spend plenty of time in front of the screen.
Thanks!
Also, how do i find a Lasik eye specialist near me..and how do i know they are legit & safe?

Answer
well i will tell you that my wife had this done last year. she was 20 years old. i have also had this done(i was 23). we see great and have for the last year even while out in iraq. we are both military and had it done for free. what im really posting about is to tell you the you should look more into P.R.K. than lasik. its was safer, less time, and less problems down the road. as far as where to get it done just start calling around.

If I had LASIK Surgery, is a waiver required for me to join the military if I have a nursing degree?

I have a degree in Nursing and I am interested in joining the military. I understand that I can apply for a direct commission into the military. However, I have had LasIk eye surgery and I can see 20/20. I was wondering if a waiver would be needed?
Answer
As long as it has been at least 6 months with no complications and your vision meets post-surgery standard, you would not require a waiver.
You will not be eligible for Airborne school or diving. There is no waiver for that.
