Is laser eye surgery worth the risk if it means I can fly?

Question

I want to be a pilot in the air force more than anything. I heard that they allow laser eye surgery in some situations. My vision is 20/60 correctable to 20/10. If I should be so lucky as to get the opportunity..is laser eye surgery worth it? I don't want to ruin my life with a mistake..but I don't want live my life with regret either...

Answer 1

I have heard from many people that airlines prefer your eyes be corrected by lenses. They do not recommend laser surgery because of the complications. They'd rather have you wearing coke-bottle classes if you have to then to go blurry during a landing.
