While those procedures may be 'approved' you need to be very cognizant of your pre-existing conditions(diopter #s) before assuming you'll be good to go. Personally know an individual who was IN OCS(Navy) after having surgery and being medically cleared to start, only to be found NPQ during his NOMI physical due to pre-existing conditions being out of limits, even with corrective surgery. Be careful and as stated, know what the regs state, they are CONSTANTLY changing!
