Can you still be a Fighter Pilot if you get Lasik eye surgery?

Q. It's been my life-long dream to become a fighter pilot but my eye-sight isn't the best... But I've read somewhere that if you don't have 20/20 vision you can still be able to become a Fighter Pilot if you correct your vision with Lasik eye surgery... I reallyyyy hope this is true but do any of you guys know if it is is?
Oh and just in case you're wondering i'm 17.
P.S. I want to go into the Marine Corps.

A. There's actually a variation between branches (Air Force, Navy/Marine Corps) and what you want to fly. You'd best check with a recruiting officer for both the Air Force and Navy (USMC fighter pilots function and train along the same lines as the Navy, and their standards are very similar).

To be honest, even if they do accept you with sub-par vision, getting an Advanced Strike slot in the Navy/Marine Corps is hard as it is with so many candidates who have clean bills of health and perform above and beyond the grade.

Once again, check. It depends on the branch you're looking at and what you intend to fly.
