When I first got to SF I had horrible eyesite, 20/600. A few years ago I got LASEK and I am currently holding steady at 20/20 in one eye and 20/15 in the other. As has been said talk to an SF recruiter about your options. You may have to do it on your own dime prior to enlisting. I applaud your desire to join. If the SF Recruiter say's no you can't enlist ask him if you would be able to enlist if you got the surgery done would you then be able to ask. Be sure you only get the procedures that are approved for use for SF. When I had it done we could not have LASIK but both PRK and LASEK were approved.

Just be sure your SF recruiter is in the loop.
