<p>You are better off waiting and here is why: If you get the surgery done prior to going to flight school and something goes wrong guess who doesn’t get to be a pilot? Although PRK is done daily on hundreds of people throughout the country there are very real complications to the procedure and some people can have bad outcomes. If you wait until after you have gone through flight school and have been winged you will have alot more options if something goes awry with the surgery. The military will be more willing to work with you to keep you in a flying billet after you have been trained than if something goes wrong before you even get to flight school. </p>
<p>Just wait a bit, get winged and then get the surgery if you still want it. (This only applies to those who are waiverable)</p>
