i was wondering if anyone knows the disqualifications of PRK eye surgery...before coming into boot camp my eye sight was 20/70 in my left eye and 20/100 in my right...which are both waiverable...when i went to boot camp it ended up being 20/100, and 20/200 which makes me disqualified..i went and passed the seal pft, and then they found out that i didn't qualify...so now i have to get surgery before i can do anything else...my brother has a stigmatism, and they said that since his eye is shaped like a football, they can't do eye surgery on him? i think i have a stigmatism too though..im not sure..im just tryin to figure this out that way i can get this done...im stationed at great lakes, illinois right now and i need to get this figured out before i get to my next duty station...if anyone could help, it would mean a lot...thanks..

Sorry to hear about the eyes. I had eye surgery when both my eyes were 20/200 and i had a slight stigmatism, but they corrected that and everything. You would have to ask the doc when you go if you qualify or not. The best thing i could tell you is to just goto an eye surgeon and find out if you qualify.

Brandon,

I'll get back with you on Monday. World has not come to an end yet. We need to do some research. Monday, partner.
