Hello everyone,
I'm a year away from finishing college and would love to be an airline pilot one day. My concern is I'm nearsighted and I have a -6 diopter prescription in one eye and a -6.5 diopter prescription for the other. I have 20/15 vision with my contacts in. I've read that anything surpassing -6 for nearsightedness precludes you from a pilot career.
I was considering getting Lasik or PRK, but I've also read that the prescription a person has before surgery might disqualify them from flying professionally as well.
Any thoughts or advice?
