Does laser eye surgery disqualify you from being a military pilot?

I have done some reading about some pilot programs in a few of the military branches. I came across something interesting that stated: If you have had laser eye surgery in the past, you are disqualified from becoming a pilot. Is this true?

My next question is, if it is in fact true, why would that disqualify you? Laser eye surgery can correct your vision back to 20/20 and that’s what pilots are suppose to have correct? So wheres the logic in that?
