Participants are not deployable: 30 days after LASIK; up to 90 days after PRK. Must have contact lenses out and wearing current prescription glasses for 30 days prior to initial exam. Must have 1-year stable vision; bring civilian eye records if last exam was not through military.
Timing is Key. Timing plays a pivotal role when it comes to LASIK and army recruitment. The surgery must be uncomplicated and completed at least 12 months before the medical examination. This waiting period ensures the eyes have fully healed and any potential complications are addressed.
For LASIK, waivers may be granted for myopia up to -11.5D spherical equivalent with no more than 3.5D of astigmatism, and hyperopia up to +3.75D spherical equivalent with no more than 2.75D of astigmatism.
In general, PRK is acceptable, but LASIK is considered disqualifying for active duty in any Special Forces (air, sea or land) capacity, and for naval aviators. LASIK is not disqualifying for general duty positions.
In general, for members of the Marines and the Navy, including the Navy SEALs (Sea, Air, Land), visual acuity must be at least 20/40 in the best eye and at least 20/70 in the other, without color blindness. Vision must be correctable to 20/25.
