Question
hey you answered my question before. i know if glasses or contacts make me see 20/40 i can join.if my eyesight with glasses is 20/40 will they accept me or should i get surgery?
I would attempt to go in without the surgery. The Army does pay for the eye surgery if you have time in service and such, so its cheaper to get it done in the Army. Also, then they're responsible for the after-effects if there are any. Certain surgeries disqualify you from entry because of the risk of complication.. I think eye surgery does for a period of time... 6 months to a year.. I would advise you to just go with what you've got and let the Army fix you later.
