Heard you need 20/20 vision to join the military or feds, any ways to improve vision without lasik or other types of eye surgery?

You need to verify the vision requirements for the military or federal agency you are considering joining. It is very rare that 20/20 uncorrected vision is a requirement. Even US Navy Top Gun pilots do not have this requirement.



The current methods of permanent or semi-permanent vision correction include:



Lasik

A “flap” of the front of the cornea is created, moved aside, a laser removes tissue to reshape the cornea, then the flap is repositioned over the treatment area.

Bladeless Lasik

Identical to Lasik except the “flap” is created with a laser rather than a metal blade.

PRK

The outermost layer of cells on the cornea is removed, and then a laser reshapes the cornea. The cells quickly reproduce and cover the treatment area.

LASEK

Same as PRK, except the outermost layer of cells are saved and repositioned over the treatment area after laser sculpting.

Epi-Lasik

Same as PRK, except outermost layer of cells are separated from the underlying cornea with a special mechanical device and repositioned over the treatment area after laser sculpting.

CK

A probe emits radio waves at spots along the edge of the cornea, causing tissue shrinkage that reshapes the cornea. Rarely used because of significant and 100% regression.

P-IOL

An artificial helper lens is added within the eye, either just in front or just behind the iris (colored portion of eye).

RLE

The natural lens within the eye is removed and replaced with an artificial lens that corrects vision.

you may improve ur vision by a very small amount thru better nutrition but that will take forever and ud have to eat really really healthy for years like lots of vegetables mostly carrots and NO sugar, and that will only improve ur vision it wont fix it. to fix it u need surgery. but if u dont like glasses i suggest contacts one day. and on days u dont wanna wear ur contacts just wear ur glasses. its more common nowadays to wear glasses some ppl even wear them just to look sophisticated even if they dont need em!

You really need to watch Samantha Pearson's video at http://www.restoremyvisiontoday.info It tells you how you can 100% naturally and safely cure almost any visual problem and the real truth about the Eyecare industry...thing is.. your glasses and contact lenses are in fact making your eyes worse.



At first I didn't believe it but right now I don't need glasses anymore. I feel like something magic has happened to me, crazy!
