Im 17… and i want to fly planes or helicopters or sum thin. . I’m going into the military no matter what i don’t know what branch yet. i wear contacts and i want to get laser eye surgery but i dont know if i can because of my age? This is important to me, so if anyone can tell me how old you have to be fore laser eye surgery i would HIGHLY APPRECIATE IT!!

What exactly is the British military’s policy regarding laser eye surgery?

I’d like to join the Parachute Regiment, but I want to have laser eye surgery before I join up. Is having laser eye surgery a no go, or do you have to wait a certain amount of time after having it before joining up etc?

I’m confused as some people say they wont let you in if you have it, others say it doesn’t make a difference, also people in the military can get discounts on laser eye surgery etc.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

i would like to have laser eye surgery, my prescription is -4.75 which apparently is medium degree myopia (shortsighted)
Im just wandering what other peoples experiences are on laser surgery. im not even sure i can have it because my eyes are bad!

i want to wear contacts cuz i think i look better in them and i have worn them once and it makles such a clear world around you. my mom and my brother think they’ll mess up my vision and think i wont be able to get laser eye surgery if i wear contacts. is that true?

I’m sixteen and went to the Ophthalmologist today and have interocular pressure in my eyes of 19 and 21. They say I may have Glaucoma, since my father and my mothers mother had it. I want to to hear from someone who has had laser eye surgery before, what do they do to you? Do they like secure your head in some type of clamp. Are you conscious? Do you feel any type of sensation or pain on your eye?

I was told by my dad that back in the day (about 20 years ago) they were not allowed to get laser eye surgery because no one knew the side effects at the time. So he had to wait until he was out of the CG to get his.
I’m talking about laser eye surgery to correct 20/80 vision. My lenses on my glasses/contacts are -1.00

I have suffered with OCD for about 10 years, so there’s no getting around it and I’ve heard that it could prevent me from being able to have laser eye surgery. Is this true? If so, why?

I’m scheduled for laser eye surgery, but I saw a disclaimer saying that you couldn’t do military or some law enforcement if you’ve had laser eye surgery, does anyone know what all the rules on this actually are? I checked the navy site and couldn’t find anything, I may have overlooked it though. I’m specifically concerned with navy, not so much other fields though I guess if you know them you can tell for them too.

I’m 18 and have been wearing contact lenses for the past 2 years. Today I’m told by the doctor that I’m allergic to contact lens and will need to stop wearing them. I wish to have laser eye surgery next year (the doctor said I’m suitable for it).

Are there many people in my age group who have had laser eye surgery before? Is it risky?
I have allergic conjunctivitus.
I have serious astigmatism (200.), so I can’t wear daily disposals.

want to know how much laser eye surgery would be for a small dog?

Is it safe and are you allowed to get laser eye surgery while pregnant? I’d sure like to be able to get up for those late night feedings without groping blindly for my glasses.

I want to have laser eye surgery, but i found out from a friend that you could have a layer of your eye tear away and you’ll be left with nothing but excruciatingly blurry vision. Is this true? I was planning on joining the Marine Corps without glasses or contacts. If there are any other side effects please don’t forget to mention them, thank you!
