Thank you to all who have input.

Corrective surgery and the military is a very complicated topic. First find out if your existing eyesight is good enough for the USAF, you do not need 20/20 uncorrected. Check with the airforce, not the internet forums, cuz the requirements change.
I believe ACTIVE asthma to be a DQ. If you have a history of asthma that is not active, and you are very athletic you might be OK. Again, check with the air force, they are the only ones who can give you the straight answer.
