Can you have lasik eye surgery before going into the army?

Can i still go into the army if i have lasik eye surgery before i go to the army. Im high school, and i wonder if it would be worth getting it so i dont have to be messing with glasses or contacts. I would like to get the surgery later if i cant.

    Would getting PRK (aka laser eye surgery) be considered chargeable leave in the Army?

    Or is it a pass?
    I’d be taking a total of two duty days off.
    The reason why I am asking is bc I am paying for it myself, if I have the Army pay for it then I’ll be on a waiting list and I’m not stationed on a military installation so it’d be easier if I just pay for it bc we’re deploying soon and I don’t want to wait till it’s too late.

    Anyways, my CSM and Commander were having an arguement as to whether it’s considered chargeable leave or pass.
