Yes, if your vision is correctable to 20/20 with glasses or contacts. Actually I did ortho-K (not the laser surgery, it involves wearing hard contact lenses at night) and don’t wear glasses to fly any more.
Yes you can! As long as your vision is correctable to 20/20 you are good to go. I also am a pilot and tired the Ortho K – I don’t recommend it. It works well for small corrections… mine – 20/800 – it was able to correct me to about 20/60… but with such a sever astigmatism.. I could only go a few hours with out my retainer contacts – or my vision would start to regress.
Just stick with standard glasses or contacts.
I got a friend who went for LASIK surgery because he want to become a pilot …everything going good and now he is a pilot of an airbus …you need to correct all these thing first before going for your dream
