I am a dietbetic patient but well under control with medication. Is it advisable for Dietbetic guys to take up Lasik Eye Surgery ? How safe is it ? Me at age 40 now and worried about Presbyopia too. Need some advise from oversea's friends and fellow countrymen from Singapore.
Much appreciated.
Answer
Any reputable doctor will have a consultation with you before laser eye surgery. Some people are not candidates for the procedure. It is important that you inform them of your medical history. As with all surgery, there is risk. It was quite successful for me.
Good Luck

If I get lasic surgery for my poor vision, could I still fly helicopters in the military?

I don't know if any or all branches of the military will allow someone to fly helicopters if they get lasic surgery. I would preferably like to fly helicopters for the Army.
Answer
Depending on many factors it could keep you out completely.
(2) History of refractive surgery including, but not limited to: Lamellar (P11.7) and/or penetrating keratoplasty
(P11.6). Radial Keratotomy and Astigmatic Keratotomy is disqualifying. Refractive surgery performed with an Excimer

Keratomileusis (commonly known as LASEK), and Laser-Assisted in situ Keratomileusis (commonly known as
LASIK) (P11.7) is disqualifying if any of the following conditions are met:
(a) Pre-surgical refractive error in either eye exceeds + 8.00 to - 8.00 diopters.
(b) At least 6 months recovery period has not occurred between last refractive surgery or augmenting procedure and
accession medical examination.
(c) There have been complications, and/or medications or ophthalmic solutions are required.
(d) Post-surgical refraction in each eye is not stable as demonstrated by—
1. At least two separate refractions at least one month apart, the most recent of which demonstrates more than +/-
0.50 diopters difference for spherical vision and/or more than +/- 0.25 diopters for cylinder vision; and
2. At least 3 months recovery has not occurred between the last refractive surgery or augmenting procedure and one
of the comparison refractions.
(e) Pre-surgical and post-surgical refractive error does not meet the standards for the Military Service to which the
candidate is applying.
Do a search for AR 40-501. You can download it as a PDF and go thru the Flight Status section. What I pasted is from Initial Entry Standards.
