There would be no reason to do such a drastic procedure if you're eyes are likely to change. Good luck! : ) You need to be 18, and your RX also needs to be stablized for a prolonged preiod of time before a doctor would consider it.

Generally you have to wait until your eyes are stable for at least a year maybe more

if your eyes are always getting worse and worse they usually dont want to do the surgery and risk your eye sight not being permenent after its completed

generally most peoples eyes stabilized after your 18 to 21 ish…….depends on person – some dont stabilize until your 25+

Some scary and disgruntled. As of a year ago there was only one laser eye surgery the Navy will accept for pilots and SEALS, and that is PRK. Lasik or Lasak type surgery involves a cut and move of the protective coating of the eye, laser correction then the replacement of the coating, like a flap. PRK has the laser penetrate thru the coating to do the vision correction and it will take about a week for the coating to regrow. Usually PRK is done one eye at time, so two weeks total. Having the "flap" as in Lasik or Lasak tends to leave slight scaring that you can't see but when taking the pilot/SEAL entry physical can be detected. This also is assumed to be a weak spot in the eye covering that could be jarred loose when in heavy combat or pulling G forces. Contact your local Navy recruiter and let them know that you're interested in joining the Navy and to apply to be a SEAL and your concerns about laser eye surgery. By the way, you can't join to be a SEAL, you have to join the Navy in some job occupation of at set time (don't quote me but I think it's 2 years) before you can send your application to be concidered for SEAL training.

After all, if you are going to be a SEAL, you arent going to get there by always being honest and doing what the navy doc tells you. Navy doctors are retarded for the most part anyway. I was in the Marine Corps (Dept of Navy) until 6 months ago. I was a infantry machinegunner. My fellow gunner was told that he could not have the laser eye surgery within 6 months previous to deploying to Iraq. He only had 1 month left before we deployed when he got it done. (privately with his own money) lesson- What they dont know cant hurt you. Just a thought. He did fine by the way.

I have eyesight of 20/40 and 20/75. If it's correctable, and MEPS doesn't fuck you like they did me whe they give you your eye exam and say it's uncorrectable....the only requirement regarding eyesight is that it HAS to be able to be CORRECTED to 20/20. As long as they tell you that it's correctable, and you fill out the appropriate waivers (ask your recruiter) then you should be able to class as SEAL. You might also be interested in EOD. If not then. go to your A school and work your regular job for 4 years, and reclass then. In all honesty, the Navy is hurting for SEALs, because not too many are qualified...I do believe that the current bonus for seals is around $40,000. Your local recruiter will probably tell you much of the same, but they'll be able to go into much more detail with you and your particular situation. Also, if your eyesight is correctable, your health insurance policy through the navy will provide LASIK eye surgery at no cost.

I don't really see how it would financially benefit you. If you want the surgery, get it, but don't get your hopes up.
