Can you get LASIK Surgery as an ROTC Cadet & have it paid for by the Military?

It is elective surgery and as an ROTC Cadet, you are only covered medically in certain circumstances, none of which would this surgery come under.

I'm not so sure LASIK is worth betting your career on. There's apparently about 8 of 10 surgeries that have no problems. The rest start from mild inconvenience to major issues. I'll stick with wearing glasses. “ 'Do bad outcomes sometimes occur? Yes. But the risk is extremely low,' Dr. Eric Donnenfeld, former president of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery has said. But for the few who do endure bad outcomes, the results can be devastating."

The military will not pay for it. Also if you get it done without talking to someone, it can have adverse affects on you. Any change in your medical condition will require a medical determination. This could cause you to defer going to Advanced Camp or even commissioning. I have seen both happen in my program. Talk to your instructor, PMS, or HRA before you get it done so you know how it could affect your future.

Nope! You’re a cadet, not a service member yet. I know a former cadet that couldn’t go to advance camp do to a recent LASIK surgery. I would stay away from doing that as a cadet if I were you!!
