LASIK while flying commercially. Any experiences?
Hi all,

I am an A320 pilot thinking about LASIK surgery. I have both myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism, around 2,5 in each eye for each. My prescription has been stable for the last 3-4 years (I am around 30 years old).

Now, has anyone undergone surgery while flying commercialy? AME has advided around a 3-4 week period with your medical taken away from you, but has encouraged me to go for it. Obviously I would be a life-changing procedure for me and I cannot wait to get rid of my glasses.

Any advice? From pilot who have done it or even doctors who can help....

Thank you
