Yes, unless you have astigmatism. Consult your opthamologist to see if you are a good candidate for LASIK.

I was pretty nearsighted until I got LASIK 4 years ago. It was perfect for about a year and is now deteriorating, but that’s because I’m older. They told me it would happen. Still MUCH better than I was, & do not need to use glasses except for reading comfort — not really necessary. I’m just a little farsighted now.

Yours might stay perfect for decades, since you’re so young.

There are many different kinds of LASIK. It really depends on your preference. The normal LASIK uses a blade to cut a "flap" in your cornea where another LASIK procedure is done by laser to cut the "flap". There is also laser procedures that can be done if your cornea is not thick enough to have LASIK and that is called PRK and still people may not be able to have this. The best thing to do is to schedule a free consultation with an eye doctor that does Laser Surgeries and find out if you are a candidate for them. Many people find out they aren't candidates for any laser surgeries anyways. Hope this helps!!

In my observation, I have noticed that the government is at least ten years behind medical "trends", for lack of a better word. I don't expect those two agencies to cover such a breakthrough any time soon.

that, or it’s the people that are cheap and get the surgery from untrustworthy people that cut corners and suck at the surgery.

YES DON'T DO LASIK!!!!! You will ruin your military flying career!! PRK is the only authorized corrective surgery for pilots. I am going to flight school myself and have researched like crazy! Current prices are around $3500 for both eyes. The military also requires one year healing time after surgery; so plan accordingly! Good Luck!

well i will tell you that my wife had this done last year. she was 20 years old. i have also had this done(i was 23). we see great and have for the last year even while out in iraq. we are both military and had it done for free. what im really posting about is to tell you the you should look more into P.R.K. than lasik. its was safer, less time, and less problems down the road. as far as where to get it done just start calling around.
