Can I be a pilot for the R.A.F or the U.S Air Force if I wear glasses or have had laser eye surgery?

Hi Guys, I’m almost 16 years old and I’m really short sited, but, glasses give me great vision. I want to know whether I would be able to join either the R.A.F or The U.S Air Force, if I have laser eye surgery done or still wear glasses by the time I apply for the role of a pilot in the future. Thanks.

    there are some rumors that eye surgery would disqualified students who wants to become a pilot and there are some that says it is OK as long you get a waiver with the ROTC detachment after a whole year from the surgery date. What is the truth? Is there a specific specification on measurements that needs to be done the eyes? If so, where can you get it? Thanks!

      I have contact lenses and I am 13. Will I be able to become an RAF pilot with laser eye surgery?

      I have always wanted to be a pilot (specifically a pilot) in the RAF but I have contact lenses.
      Do you think in 5 years my sight could recover? (probably not)
      And if I were to have laser eye surgery, would I be allowed?
