Does the British Military allow LASIK Eye Surgery?
I hope to join the Parachute Regiment. Hopefully to be a Sniper (as I have shown in one of my other questions) or other Combat Role. But primarily Sniper.
Let’s use the Parachute Regiment as an example. Would they allow someone who has had LASIK Eye Surgery. LASIK basically corrects being short-sighted (Myopia).
Would they allow someone who has undergone that surgery (for both eyes) join as one of their paratroopers? If they don’t, how about other branches of the Military? E.g. Royal Marines, Royal Navy, Regular Infantry?
Remember these are for combat roles where the eyesight need is greater.
I plan to use this, for your reference: http://uk.opticalexpress.com/laser-eye-surgery/lasik.html
Also, would they allow Advanced CustomVue Wavefront? The advanced version of LASIK (the one shown above)?:

I have asked them but never get straight answers (as always). So please give me good answers guys!

Is it worth looking into Laser Eye Surgery?
I have been considering doing Laser / Lasik Eye surgery for a while. I finally a visited a doctor last week – and she said it is possible but also give me the disclaimer that ~ 5% of the cases do not work out as expected – results can vary from complete improvement to no improvement to poorer eyesight to blindness.
Ofcourse that put me off. But the more I think about it – I really have not met anyone so far who has had an unsuscessfull surgery. I want to know if there are any of you out there who know anyone whose eye surgery was not successful. If possible I would also like to talk these people over the phone to get a first hand idea of their experience. If the phone call is not possible – thats fine but it will still be good to know of cases where the surgery did not work out.
