Blu3wolf- In regards to your LASEK/Eye question, here is some info from the AVMED FAQ-


Q: Can I have refractive surgery to become aircrew?

A: Yes - but-

· Only PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) and LASEK (Laser Epithelial Ketartomileusis - a form of PRK) are approved at this time.

· RK (Radial Keratotomy) is not approved.

· LASIK (Laser In-situ Keratomileusis) is also not approved at this time for aircrew however studies are under way to determine its suitability in the longer term
