Getting Lasik Surgery
Would the military pay for your Lasik Surgery before bootcamp?
I have yet to enlist/talk to a recruiter, but a quick question I have is…
Would the military pay for your Lasik surgery before bootcamp?
Or do I have to wear those ugly glasses during bootcamp?
Could I get it in a contract when talking to the recruiter?
Do the Birth Control Goggles fall off easily, and/or they hardly noticeable from the point of view the person is wearing them if anyone have expereince with it?
You can’t get it done through the military until you’ve gone to your first permanent duty station, and even then you have to get command approval (which isn’t really hard, unless you’re about to deploy).
You have to wear the glasses if you need vision correction during basic.
(we called them BCGs, birth control goggles)

Generally, and nationwide, the average price for LASIK is around $2000 per eye. There are plenty of practices that advertise $299 per eye, but beware the bait and switch scheme. The $299 price is for a very basic Rx. If you require treatment for astigmatism, the price goes up. If your Rx is anything but the basic, the price goes up.
