As far as I'm aware current policy on laser eye surgery is still a big 'NO' for aircrew. Although, having seen several civvi friends have the procedure done, they (and I) have been amazed at the results and the simplicity of the op.
There are obvious implications for us, but I would be grateful for any up to date info on the current state of play.

Speak to the US Lt/Col fella down at M/W, I did not so long ago and it was him who brought up the possabillity of being 'zapped' . You are grounded for a year though, hence i ruled that option out.
