1. Surgical Recovery Time: Recovery time after myopia surgery varies depending on the individual and the type of surgery. Typically, femtosecond and full-femtosecond surgeries result in a quicker recovery, with the ability to return to normal life and work within approximately 1-2 weeks after surgery. Therefore, before considering when you can be in the military, you need to plan ahead to schedule your surgery based on the procedure and recovery time.
2. Military vision requirements: Different militaries have different vision requirements, including visual acuity standards, naked eye vision requirements, and so on. You will need to understand the specific military's vision requirements and have a consultation and evaluation with your doctor to determine if the timing of the surgery and recovery time meets the military's requirements.
3. Stability of vision: The military may require your vision to remain stable for a certain period of time to ensure the stability of the surgical results. Therefore, you need to make sure that your vision will be stabilized after the surgery and meet their requirements for the time period specified by the Army.
It is important to emphasize that myopia surgery is an individual decision that should be made after a detailed consultation and evaluation with an eye specialist. Your doctor will provide you with an appropriate treatment plan and help you determine the best time for surgery based on factors such as your myopia level, surgical procedure, and stability of your vision after surgery.
We recommend that you contact the appropriate military recruiting department directly or consult with a military medical facility to learn about their specific policies and requirements for myopia surgery. They will be able to provide more accurate and specific information to help you make an informed decision.
