It depends. You cannot get LASIK under any cirucumstances. The current limit is 20/70, correctable to 20/20.If you are within that limit, great, go for it. If not then the other option is a Waiver or PRK laser surgery. If you go through the Air Force Academy, you have a good chance of both, but if you go through ROTC or OTS, your chances are next to none.

Corrective surgery is a great thing but it doesn't make your eyes a perfect 20/20, you'll still need corrective lenses and you can't fly in the Air Force with corrective lenses.

According to the Air Force web site, laser surgery will make you ineligible for pilot training. If your correctable to 20/20, your ok.

You would not be accepted, you need to focus on something more realistic. Sorry for the honesty.
