Colorado Laser Eye Surgery and Laser Eye Surgery Costs

How does vision limit my career options in the military?

I have nearsightedness but it is not horrible, without my glasses or contacts I can see things pretty good. Could I Get Lasik and have my vision corrected back to 20/20, or would that disqualify me from joining?

If you meet these standards you will be fine. If you want eye surgery wait until after you are in. The military will pay for it.

Vision must be correctable (with glasses) to a minimum of one of the following:

(1) 20/40 in one eye and 20/70 in the other eye.

(2) 20/30 in one eye and 20/100 in the other eye.

(3) 20/20 in one eye and 20/400 in the other eye.

Current near visual acuity (367) of any degree that does not correct (with glasses) to 20/40 in the better eye is disqualifying.

Current refractive error (hyperopia (367.0), myopia (367.1), astigmatism (367.2)), or history of refractive error prior to any refractive surgery manifest by any refractive error in spherical equivalent of worse than -8.00 or +8.00 diopters is disqualifying.
