I realise some of this information has been posted in the past but here's some information I received about pre-op limits of refractive surgery and entry into the ADF.

Allowable Refractive Surgery for Aircrew ADF Entry
The following refractive surgery operations are acceptable for Aircrew ADF entry:
  • Photo Refractive Keratotomy (PRK);
  • Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis (LASEK)
If you are outside the following standards pre-surgery, unfortunately you don't meet the standard for ADF entry:
Candidates whose pre-surgery dioptre correction for
  • hypermetropia is greater than +5.00 or
  • myopia is greater than -5.00
(Laser in-situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) is unacceptable for Aircrew only)
If anyone wants a copy of the sheet PM me, the info above is all that you'll need though.
