When I'm 25-30 and I have the money, can I just get lasik eye surgery to fix my eyes?

Q. I'm farsighted and I hate glasses, I don't usually wear them because I can see perfectly without them but I have to strain my eyes.

Can anyone get lasik eye surgery and will it completely fix you? What are the complications?

A. Lasik and those type of surgeries are always getting better, and will over the years. I am also farsighted with astigmatism and know that Lasik on our eyes is more difficult than someone with myopia. To correct hyperopia the surgeon must make the curve of the lens steeper, harder to do than the surgery for myopia.

Also there is always the issues of side effects. And even after you do this correction you might still need glasses for reading when you get in your middle years. Do a lot of research before spending money on this.

As you get older, if you do nothing and don't wear glasses, you will get eyestrain and headaches and your distance vision will still need full correction. Glasses are so bad, burred vision is worse I can speak from experience with my hyperopia and the value of my glasses.


Can I become a pilot if I have myopia and astigmatism?
Q. I have myopia and astigmatism and I wear spectacles but my dream is to become a pilot at the top airlines like British Airways, Lufthansa, American Airlines etc. I would even like to join the Air Force if I get a chance. I was wondering if it is possible to become a pilot if I am ready to wear contacts or do the LASIK eye surgery.

A. why not? am i missing something?

military pilots usually require uncorrected 20/20, but civilian pilots don't. eye surgery is problematic, as are contacts. had you actually done any research on this you would know why.

i wear glasses to fly. my medical papers say i must...


Is it possible to fly jet in the air force with less than perfect vision?
Q. Just wondering if there is any possibility of someone with near-sightedness to join the air force, with the possibility of becoming a jet-fighter pilot. I've always heard that most, if not all, pilots have perfect 20/20 vision or better. I've also read that those with Lasik eye surgery are not allowed to become jet pilots since there are concerns regarding their safety. Can someone please shed some light. Thank you!

A. It depends on how severe your vision:
Currently it's 20/70 correctable to 20/20.
No colorblindness, astigmatism or nightblindness
Good depth perception.
If you wear hard contacts, quit.
If you wish to surgically correct your vision, PRK is the preferred method. LASIK has the danger of the flap becoming displaced under high negative-G maneuvers.
If you have any other questions please PM me.
OBTW
For the smarta#%$ dissing my bro's, well MAYBE if the Brits used the proper procedures to mark their locations, and MAYBE if they let others in the command chain know what they were doing, friendly fire incidents would be minimized.
Read the friggin' reports


What are the sight Requirements for becoming a fighter pilot in the Marine Corps?
Q. if you have bad eye sight but you have LASIK eye surgery and it is corected to 20/20 are you ok?

A. USN/USMC current vision standards:
20/40 correctable to 20/20
No colorblindness
No nightblindness
No astigmatism
I would not recommend LASIK surgery. If you are going to get your eyes surgically improved PRK is more likely to be accepted. LASIK is normally not accepted as there is a risk during a rapid-decompression or high negative-G maneuvers the flap may pop out of position.
