Roller Merlin. .Thanks for the explanation (credit card)

It was in the past, but now certain types of corrective surgery are allowed. I don't know the crit., but it may make it possible to achieve your dream, if eyesight was the only thing holding you back. If I got it done, according to the RAAF's conditions, it would only mean that I would pass the medical (as far as I know!!). I must then pass the Psych., Flt Screening, then OIB. But as I said, corrective surgery offers hope to those who otherwise wouldn't be able to live their dream (for something that doesn't really matter anymore). Only thing I don't understand is this: You are allowed to 'fry' your eyes to get in, you cannot wear glasses below a certain limit before you get in, but you can literally the day after you get in.

Please correct me if I'm a bit off with that last statement
