How much does laser eye surgery cost in th UK?
Q. Laser Eye Surgery is usually advertised as £400 per eye.
But my friend told me it costs between £2500-£3000.
Has anyone had Laser Eye Surgery recently, how much did it cost in UK.
I hate wearing glasses and allergic to contact lenses.

A. It really depends on which clinic you go to, and which type of Laser Eye Surgery you get (e.g. LASIK, LASEK, etc)
Generally, you get what you pay for. More expensive usually means a more qualified surgeon (though perhaps not in all cases.)
It can often be more towards the £1000 mark per eye, but this is only an estimate, you'd have to contact a clinic to see what they charge (some allow for free consultations.)

Can you get laser eye surgery to fly for the Marine Corps?
Q. I have been doing some research and was not sure if you have bad vision that is corrected with contacts or glasses, if you get laser eye surgery to return your eyes to 20/20 vision, will that qualify you to fly for the Marine Corps or are you just out of luck if you have bad vision. Any help would be nice.
A. Yes, eye surgery is possible to qualify for flight training. See page 2....

"AVIATION APPLICANTS
Applicants who desire to apply for a guaranteed position in aviation must pass two additional requirements, a cycloplegic eye exam and the Aviation Selection Test Battery (ASTB). Aviators (pilots) must have 20/40 or better vision in each eye. However, as of 1 June 2005, applicants outside those requirements may apply for a contact lens waiver. Applicants must have uncorrected vision better than 20/400 and be correctable to 20/20 with soft contacts. In addition, they must be able to show they�ve worn soft contacts for at least six months without any type of problems. Naval Flight Officers (co-pilots/navigators) must simply have vision correctable to 20/20. Applicants who have had their vision surgically corrected should be aware that only vision correction through the PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) procedure is eligible for aviation. Applicants who has had their vision corrected through the LASIK (Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) procedure are disqualified for aviation, but may
apply for the ground or law program."
I am not sure if the contact lens waiver is still available. The link to the waiver guide on the NAMI website is broken or at least the waiver guide will not download on the computer I am currently using:

I believe Lasik is now approved. It is best not to get the surgery done on one's own without prior approval from the military. The military pays for eye surgery for Naval Academy Mids and Air Force Academy Cadets who want to fly. An OSO should be able to answer these questions.

What does the Navy think about laser eye surgery? Would it disqualify me from being a SEAL?
Q. If my vision is worse than the minimum for SEALs, could I have it corrected by laser eye surgery and still be eligible?
DETAILS: only intelligent people answer please!!

A. As a member of the navy's delayed entry program, who leaves in august for bootcamp who also is trying to reclassify to SEAL after i was disqualified for my eyesight. I have eyesight of 20/40 and 20/75. If it's correctable, and MEPS doesn't fuck you like they did me whe they give you your eye exam and say it's uncorrectable....the only requirement regarding eyesight is that it HAS to be able to be CORRECTED to 20/20. As long as they tell you that it's correctable, and you fill out the appropriate waivers (ask your recruiter) then you should be able to class as SEAL. You might also be interested in EOD. If not then. go to your A school and work your regular job for 4 years, and reclass then. In all honesty, the Navy is hurting for SEALs, because not too many are qualified...I do believe that the current bonus for seals is around $40,000. Your local recruiter will probably tell you much of the same, but they'll be able to go into much more detail with you and your particular situation. Also, if your eyesight is correctable, your health insurance policy through the navy will provide LASIK eye surgery at no cost.
Can I have Lasik eye surgery to become A fighter pilot in the Air Force?
Q. I have like 20/30 vision but i been hearing they change the policy of something any help please. I am a sophomore in high school and Can i do the surgery after high school.
A. i think you have to be in there for a couple years or more b4 that. Unless you can get in with bad eyesight. MY reccomendation go to the citadel or some milatary academy. This aint WW1-WW11 where they will draft or accept any1 over 18- under 60. It would be very easy to get in with a college degre of some kind. Even an A.S. They migh 60-7% chance pay for it for you if you say you can't afford if you want to join. Otherwise..if you pay out of pocket to get...then you can join. It all depends..are you paying......do you have a college degree...are you qualified without one.
