I just spoke yesterday with the DMO (Dive Medical Officer) at SFUWO (Special Forces Under Water Operations) about this. I had heard that current SF soldiers were required to wait one year after Lasik/ lasek/ PRK before attending CDQC (Combat Diver Qualification Course). The real deal is this: Lasik is a disqualifier for all Special Forces duty, PERIOD. Lasek and PRK are authorized proceedures and potential students must wait for a minimum of six months from being cleared before they can attend CDQC.

I had PRK performed by the Army several years ago. I have had no problems or complications.

Follow TR's advice as far as checking with the Army. There may be waivers out there that I have not heard of. I do know that you will not be allowed to attend CDQC ever if you have had Lasik
