Here is the USN Waiver Guide.

Here is the section about Lasik. See 12.15 CORNEAL REFRACTIVE SURGERY (PRK/LASIK)

Good luck...



That's all great but when I went through brooks there was nothing in AFI 48-123, about the AF waiving up to 20/200 or +-3.00. All it said was that you needed 20/70 or +-1.50 to pass the physical.

So again, unless any of you are flight docs at Brooks (or Wright-Patt...where ever they do MFS these days), then I would take whatever anyone says here with a grain of salt. I would let the real docs tell me yes or no.
