Hello all,
I’m getting a LASIK consultation next week. I found a clinic by my home that is ran by two military ophthalmologists who have performed LASIK for hundreds of military pilots. I understand I need to submit FAA Form 8500-7 after the procedure and aware of the risks.

On the FAA website, they mention I can immediately resume piloting provided I meet FAA vision standards, have no adverse conditions or complications, and that the post operative condition is stabilized.

Am I right in assuming I don’t need a new first class medical after the surgery? I was thinking I could get a new medical before the LASIK with my current corrective lenses (as mine is due a month after the surgery if I get it), then get LASIK, submit form 8500-7 to the FAA, chill at home for 10 days, go back to flying provided my vision is good according to the above FAA conditions.

Any advice is appreciated or if anyone can dumb it down for me, I’d appreciate it.
