    I would suggest that you talk with a Marine recruiter,first. The Navy might already have a Lasik program to correct vision. If this is the case, your friend could save a few thousand bucks in the cost for Lasik if the Navy does it free !
    The navy takes care of all USMC medical care !

    I would just wait until your in, because it is free.
    Once you get to your unit you can ask to have it. You will be on a waiting list, the last i’ve heard was 6 months since everyone who can get it , is getting it.

    NO – do not get Lasik eye surgery
    that procedure basically cuts a flap under the top of your eye and if you are knocked around too hard that flap may come loose – again do NOT get the surgery – at least before you join and get an official decision
    there is also another technique called PRK which is safer under combat situations – this basically scrapes away part of your corona (spelling??) to make your sight better – this is a more combat friendly eye surgery technique
    final – DO NOT GET IT DONE BEFORE you join – once you are part of the Corps you can get more official advice and decisions
    whatever you do – good luck with the DEP – i was about to join but i got ROTC =) – Hoorah!
