I'm new to the forum, so bear with me if I screw everything up...neway, I know someone who just had Lasik done, and they told him it's gonna b about 12 wks guaranteed for him to be totally used to the surgery. He got one eye done since they still haven't perfected the surgery. So he has to get used to monovision, which some ppl NEVER get used to. So that may end up giving u a lot of headaches, but as everyone else said, prolly won't be a problem with getting a job.


[QUOTE=⌐ AV8OR WANNABE;49401][FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="4"]Anyone know the basic rules behind getting lasix and the FAA's rules about it? Such as, how long you will lose your first class medical, flying commercially versus privately.


today it IS POSSIBLE to get a first class medical with 1 eye ONLY!!! (I've heard of a captain at UPS and an FO at Airtran with one eye only) That option won't be there if you lose your vision on both eyes. I am being paranoid of course but why not? Just be extra careful and only fix one eye at a time? Just my thoughts of course.
