What is it about?
i did not like the fact that the US Armed Forces were trying to disqualify otherwise qualified recruits, as if they were seeing 20/20 uncorrected after LASIK or PRK or LASEK there was no valid reason to disqualify them for duty

Why is it important?
now even Navy SEALs and other special forces can have laser vision correction but only PRK or LASEK, not LASIK, because the former procedures are safer if you have trauma to your eyes
Perspectives
this is an important milestone in the perception of laser vision correction as safe or unsafe by the US Armed Forces, and I would like to think that my editorial played a small part in its acceptance now!:)
