Default Lasik / flying?

I had Lasik last September.

It took ten minutes.

There was no recovery time after the anesthetic wore off in about two hours.
There was no pain ever and there were no complications. I LOVE seeing 20/20.
I do have to wear close up readers, but I had to do that anyway.

I had PRK (the pre-cursor to LASIK) 10 years ago, and I still have
20/15 vision and almost no astygmatism. It was well worth the money.
I have been flying since 1991.


I also had PRK. The recovery time is longer, but the complication rate
is virtually zero. The complication rate on LASIK is low, but PRK is
lower.

Very happy I had it.
