Default Military aviation vision requirement / Corrective surgery

Hi guys,

I'm currently a freshman in college considering applying to OTS and attempting to be part of military aviation. However, my vision is not great and i would have to get corrective surgery to even consider pursuing aviation in the military.

I know this article : LASIK Eye Surgery for Air Force Aviator Applicants
outlines the recent change, allowing air force members to get LASIK, but:

-Does LASIK/ corrective surgery have to be done through the Air Force to be considered for aviation or can you still pass medical requirements if you get LASIK done outside of the military?
-Is LASIK acceptable for all branches of military aviation (army, marines) or just for the Air Force?

Any insight would be great!
