So I have glasses and want to be a pilot. At first I thought I couldn't, but heard the Air force does Lasik surgery. Is that true?

Have you spoken with an Air Force Recruiter? They would be the SMEs to go to for this.

Damien Maxwell - Do so on your next available opportunity. Because, unless an AF pilot or AF recruiter is here on RP, everything else would be considered here-say.

Damien Maxwell What is your vision? If it's worse than 20/50, you might be out of the running. Once the Air Force invests a lot of money into you making you a pilot, they may offer you lasik down the road to KEEP you flying, but there are plenty of smart college graduates with excellent vision who want to be pilots. See a recruiter to find out ALL of the qualifications to becoming a pilot.

For flyers they use PRK, not lasik. Ask a recruiter for the mins for aviation uncorrected vission.

Colonel, wouldn't eyes that had been lasik'd distort at different altitudes? I would think that'd be a disqualifier?
