The USN has sponsored PRK for some of its' special forces and aviators.

I thought PRK was "acceptable" but, Lasik a no no. Something to do with +/- G so mebbe a P3 vs F14 driver becomes another issue......

A long time back on PPRUNE there was a thread regarding non surgical methods: essentially over a few weeks an enzyme is squirted in the eye, and progressively different contact lenses are used to re-shape. After the 2 wks or thereabouts, cancel the enzyme, eye(s) harden, and hey presto. Still waiting for that one to surface though.......(obviously I am no expert).
