<p>what!! wow!! thats, practically, huge! very very huge... glad to hear that now! wooo lol</p>
<p>now, i'm guessing this would spill over to the academy, but, it may take some time i'm sure.. and there are probably details to work out too.. in a way, i think this may make the quality of pilots better, because they've got a wider field to choose from.. but, it'll make gettin a slot harder because more people are eligible</p>
<p>good news to hear, I hope that transfers over very quickly considering our apps as 3 digs start next year!</p>
<p>haha.. wow that's made my day. my chances arent completely outta the window yet... gah that might've changed my life :) lol good luck w/ that hornet!</p>
<p>So, what new opportunities does Lasik allow for?</p>
<p>i didn't think it would allow for any new opportunities, just that it's better compared to prk, i could be wrong though.</p>
<p>yea i've heard lasik is better, but, both give an opportunity to fly (if you still meet the other eye and physical requirements)....</p>
<p>Essentially, I believe, they both get the job done, but LASIK is less painful and heals quicker.</p>
<p>Ok, thanks for the info. I thought that I saw somewhere that PRK didn't do too well for those with farsightedness, which is why I asked the question.</p>
<p>Lasik can do more since they can alter the shape of the eye vs just the cornea.</p>
<p>In addition, Lasik has a recovery time of days, PRK has one of weeks.</p>
<p>true dat, true dat... wikipedia has great info if you really wanna get nit picky bout it</p>
<p>The source of all information: Wikipedia. lol</p>
<p>aaaaaaaaamen. haha, i get everythin there</p>
<p>Have any of you cadets heard about the LASIK news?</p>
