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!

Laser eye surgery in New York?
Hello,
I read some of the old answers regarding laser eye surgery but I cannot seem to find the information I am looking for. I have myopia (nearsightedness) and I am confused about the different procedures available. Which one do you think is the best and safest? Would you recomment Lasik? Can somebody please suggest a place/clinic? Also, how much do they usually charge for both eyes?
I live in the Bronx but anywhere in and around the New York area is ok, as long as you have direct experience.
Thanks a lot.
