RAF and Eyesight
Hello there, just a quick question, to which I can't seem to find an up to date and definitive answer. I currently wear glasses/contacts; obviously that would preclude me from fighter jets, but I'm actually more interested in transport and cargo jet piloting. Is that still a no-go (all other things being equal). Also, what's their view on certain types of laser eye surgery? I've heard mumblings that this could be acceptable, and others that it isn't, but nothing concrete.
I'll be going down to visit my local RAF branch soon for some more formal advice anyway, but I thought I'd get some opinions here first too. Not, of course, that I'm holding my breath. I'm 21 (almost 22), and just about to enter my final year at university doing my BSc Computer Science, so finding everything out is something I need to jump on sooner rather than later.
Many thanks!
