Lasik / flying?
Matt Barrow wrote: Do you have a cite for that? Was told to me by Dr. James Freeman, an opthamologist and pilot (Cirrus, RV-8 and Air-Cam) from Memphis. He was one of the first to do LASIK and does a lot of them, but my correction was fairly small so he recommended PRK. He posts to the rec.av groups on occasion. Basically, with PRK you're waiting for the epithilium to re-grow, and that takes a while. With LASIK you aren't waiting for it, but there's a possibility of the flap getting a wrinkle when it's replaced, being mis-positioned, that kind of thing.
