USAF, USN, and USMC accept folks into their pilot program whose eyes have been corrected by l@ser surgery. Don't know if RAF does or not and if not why not.
Interesting. Things may have changed, but certainly when I was going through the process laser surgery was a definite 'No No!' - it was stated on the qualification criteria that no applicants would be accepted with corrective laser surgery.

Of course, that was a while ago and no doubt procedures and success rates have improved so maybe not the issue it once was.
