    Yes you can.
    We take a small percentage each year and the number varies based on number of slots vs. number of qualified applicants.

    Nope. Laser eye surgery does not count as 20/20. And they do know if you have had it. You can’t lie. They do accept x amount of people with 20/20 vision- a very small percentage.
    Navy also accepts a small amount of people with 20/20 vision. USMC and USCG are the same.
    Edit: I meant to say each branch accpets a small number of Laser surgery applicants.

    Yes you can and I’m proof. However you have to get what’s called a Flying Class I waiver. You’ll receive this waiver from Brooks AFB during Medical Flight Screening (MFS) once you’re selected for pilot training.
    There is a long process to it all and I highly suggest doing more research before you go and find the closest optometrist to get it done. Try the websites below to start. Good luck!

    Yes, depending upon what type of surgery, who performed it, and the result. They will even pay for the procedure.

    i believe as long as you have 20/20 vision then sure
