Are there top doctors within specific physician groups, who are recommended if future pilots wish to have lasik/ corrective eye surgery and fly for the military? Do the academies use military docs or outsource this to anyone specific? Also, generally, is this corrective surgery performed between Junior/ Senior years, or other between Sophomore and Junior years, and if so, why? Other thread advises eyes are still maturing at 18 - that's too soon. I think these details may be helpful for the current/ future board members.
For something this important, I'd be happy for my DS to fly anywhere for the best chance at a successful outcome if needed. But I realize, I don't know where he could travel to, for this purpose (once the pandemic ends). A destination always helps in this type of journey. Also may be a long waitlist for the best groups, so thought I would ask now.
Thanks.
