It has been perfect for me. I have had no changes. Of course, as I age, I expect changes. I also co-manage refractive surgery and have seen hundreds of successful patients. It doesn't hurt, generally. There is a bit of pressure, but no real pain if you have LASIK. The PRK version (where no flap is cut) is a little more uncomfortable for the first few days following the procedure. I've seen several people who said they were in some pain, but healed just fine. I used to wear both glasses and contact lenses. I had LASIK done and it's the best decision I've ever made. I can see clearly, no squinting, no driving with glasses anymore. I can read road signs, see the individual leaves in the trees (they're not just a blurry mess anymore). It's also nice to be able to see what time it is when I wake up. The procedure is painless (although a bit uncomfortable) but takes less than 15 minutes. Highly recommended.

It will impact what career fields you can get into. Wear glasses, join and then after you are in check it out with the Army.<a href="http://www.cargearusa.com/srch/srch.php?q=ford"> rememberthecole</a> DO NOT DO IT.

Certain types of lasik will disqualify you. It is waiverable, but it may be more of a hassle to wait on the waiver, depending on your time table.<a href="http://www.medicalsupplyservices.com/orthopedic-medical-supply.htm"> Ray</a> Talk to a recruiter.

I have a friend of mine who went through a normal waiver process and got it after about 6 weeks (I think an eye-surgery waiver is guaranteed). You will be more comfortable at BCT because you will not have to wipe your glasses or worry about breaking them if you use glasses. best of luck<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/International-Services.htm"> bluemoon</a> No, you will not be disqualified.
