I am mildly-moderately shortsighted (-2.50). I aim to have Laser Eye Surgery to fix this next year, but want to know if the UK Army Parachute regiment accepts those who have had this treatment, as some armies (e.g. the Irish) do not.

There are a couple of similar questions up here but none give decent answers.

Thanks!

I read up on requirements and it said No radial Keraotomy or something to that affect i looked up what that was and it is laser eye surgery.

Help please :)

I don’t have 20/20 vision and it is worse than 6/12 (the worst you can have to be a pilot in the RAAF) but if I were to get laser eye surgery to correct my vision would they let me in.
I know I would also need to pass all the tests and evaluations as well, but just so I know if it’s worth trying.

I’m applying for Naval OCS after I graduate from my university this year. I want to either be an aviator or go into their engineering program.

Besides that, I’m perfectly physically fit and academically capable (double-major in applied math and mechanical engineering w/ 3.8 gpa)…

I have been wearing contact lenses for over 14 years now and my glasses tend to give me headaches. I’m tired on relying on my contact to be able to see the world. Does anyone know if Tri-Care covers Lasik surgery.
