I have always wanted to serve as an officer in the Irish army. My eyesight is poor, well below the necessary requirements. I had never really considered this a major problem, since I could always have laser eye surgery. Recently however, I discovered that the catetships are closed to people who have had laser eye surgery done.
Any ideas why?
And might it be lifted in the next 10 yearsor so?

The fear is: you won’t be able to see well and therefore can’t detect men. A lesser eye surgery could damage the eye if not done right. they don’t want to take any risks.
