Lasik - do it / don't do it?

I used to work for an eye doctor and yes you can still wear contacts after lasik. Also, PLEASE do your research. There are a LOT of horrible places that will do it for cheap. The only thing i can think of with PRK vs Lasik is that you can't be a jet pilot in the air force if you had lasik lol

Really? I spoke to an Air Force rep and asked him about Lasik and he said that as long as your vision is 20/20, regardless of whether you had Lasik or not, you can be a jet pilot.

I know it USED to be that you couldn't but in 2003 or 2004 (don't quote me here, I'm pretty sure that's when but I'm just remembering off the top of my head), they modified the standards for being a pilot so those who had Lasik done aren't excluded any longer.

It seems logical, anyhow. Lasik has come a very long way since it was first introduced and is now a reliable, safe procedure.

For those of you talking about glasses - check out www.zennioptical.com. They have tons of different glasses and they have a lot of affordable options - some as low as like $10. I haven't bought a pair of glasses anywhere else since I found them. You just have to get your prescription written down for you from your eye doctor.
