Why don’t the Irish Army let you become an officer if you have had laser eye surgery?
frenchy asked:
I have always wanted to serve as an officer in the Irish army. My eyesight is poor, well below the necessary requirements. I had never really considered this a major problem, since I could always have laser eye surgery. Recently however, I discovered that the catetships are closed to people who have had laser eye surgery done.
Any ideas why?
And might it be lifted in the next 10 yearsor so?

They don’t like their Men’s or Women’s to be messed up.I guess they don’t like your Eyesight to be Lazer Modified.Might have side effects or something. JasonW
