Default AF and PRK surgery

All,

You can still join - even commission without 20/20. I did. I enlisted with 20/blind in both eyes and was able to get the AF to pay for my PRK surgery and now have 20/20. My roommate at OTS had the surgery done before he joined the AF or took his commissioning physical and he is now flying f-15s for the AF. As long as your eyes stabilize and you don't have halo effects you are good to go...

The AF accepts PRK surgery for flight / officer candidates.

To ensure my information is current check with the local recruiter- don't take his work , ask to see official memo / paper from AFPC or USAF medical corps...

Hope that helps...Remember AF has more than fighter pilots...In a fighter you can't go take a **** , make coffee, eat a donut, flirt with the nurse, etc...
