Ok my husband (army infantry) was on the list for lasik back in Jan 2004. he wanted it done before his deployment in jan’05 but kept getting the run around so we paid out of pocket (the dr did discounts for military and he was great) So my husband gets back in Jan ’06 and in Feb we get a call saying that they’re ready for him! How aggravating especially since they were doing the admin and support people etc instead
Oh and you CAN be deployed after the surgery…you only have to have had a month between surgery and deployment so that they can make sure you don’t have infections. My husband had only had his done about 6 weeks….and YES you do have to get it approved first if done by a civilian dr. -

Last I checked, you have to be over 21 and at least 24 months of active duty still remaining(it could be different now, not sure.) You obviously are not eligible for deployment for at least a full year, since you need time to recover plus there will be follow-ups to moniter your progress. Hope it helps.

Yes you can get PRK through the navy. You have to be screened first, and approval from your chain of command. There is a priority bassed on job for waiting. I was priority 2 due to being an MA, right now they are trying to get as many people through before deployments. It’s easier than trying to replace glasses while deployed.
