My situation is as follows, I am an airman in the air national guard with about a year left of college, i am working on my Instrument rating and am planning on flying for the guard after college and OTS.
Unfortunetly my eyes are not good enough to fly in the air force the way they are now, and thus i am planning to get the PRK eye surgery. I have done much research and have talked to flight docs and medical personal and have heard quite a few different things, and have heard horror stories of people getting lasik and PRK, not following proper procedure and in turn being disqualified from entering pilot training.
Does anybody know of or where I can find the proper steps and procedures I need to follow through the military in order to ensure I am not disqualified from flying. I have already visited the eye doc, and he has determined that I am a candidate for PRK and my eyes would be corrected to 20/20.
thanks for any help or information.
