I believe that MFF is also prohibited for LASIK patients, but I am not the adjudicating authority. LASEK is a different procedure.

I would get in first and then let the military tell me what procedures were GTG fror what I wanted to do.

Bottom line is to research the most current copies of the regs and to talk to a knowledgable person who is in the decision making process for the latest info.

And you guys with dogs, white canes, and the like, we do not have a place in SF for you. I am sure that you are fine people and we appreciate your desire to serve, but we cannot have a team member out there who is as blind as Mr. Magoo. IIRC, eight diopters is legally blind.

Good luck.
