I had lasik performed last year, and among the mounds of papers the medical facility had me sign was an acknowledgement that having the surgery would make me ineligible for some kinds of employment. What kinds of employment, I’m wondering? Secret service? Military Pilot? And why?

- What are the vision requirements to become an Air Force pilot?
The vision requirements are 20/50 for pilots and 20/200 for navigators. Vision for both must be correctable to 20/20. A very limited number of medical waivers with strict requirements are currently being offered for applicants who have a history of Photo Refractive Keratectomy (PRK). Applicants who have a history of either Radial Keratotomy or Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) are ineligible for aviation duty.
*Air Force does not endorse the PRK procedure. We recommend that you consider all risk prior to any medical procedure. Current medical policy is also subject to change. Applicants should contact their local recruiter for more information.
