short sightened, dont know prescription.
This is done in Bristol, UK and costs around £545 per eye maybe cheaper. its very good and was thinking of having it done to just type in laser eye treament bristol and you will find the hospital. good luck
Anyone considering Lasik should carefully consider what can go wrong and the odds of something going wrong, and should understand how the economics of the Lasik industry can cause them harm.

I am assuming you mean Lasik surgery to correct vision.
Most doctors require a patient to be 18 years old.
"The ideal candidate includes those who:
• Are over 18 years of age and have had a stable glasses or contact lens prescription for at least two years."
http://www.lasikinstitute.org/Candidate.html
"To be eligible for LASIK, you must meet the following criteria:
***Be 18 years of age or older
***Have stable vision for at least one year before surgery(bring old contact lenses or glasses prescription to your exam.)
***Have healthy eyes that are free of disease, scars, retinal problems, and corneal malformations "

Is PRK disqualifying for enlisted flight jobs like medics flight engineers and aerial gunners in the USAF Reserve and Active, will it keep me from getting on flight status?
PRK will not disqualify you from those jobs. I had my eyes done (PRK) at an AF hospital. One of my NCO’s cross trained into helicopter flight engineer after the same surgery. The only issue will be your corrected vision, it must meet set standards.
Are there any new technologies in prototype which will make this safer?
they are constantly trying to find newer and better ways for laser corrective surgery. There is a lot of reseach being conducted at the moment but it is not advertised or published yet as laser corrective surgery is a very competitive market and nobody wants to give away their ideas or secrets until they have mastered it first
Dr. Tueng T. Shen, professor of ophthalmology at the University of Washington School of Medicine, and her team at the University of Washington offer the latest in corrective eye surgery. The safer new ‘LASEK’ procedure can be done without cutting a flap in the cornea, as the older and more familiar LASIK surgery requires.

After the trabeculectomy surgery my eye’s pressure is stable. Are there other Laser correction options I might use?
Yes and no.
There’s nothing inherent in the trabeculectomy procedure that directly affects the cornea (or at least the parts that refractive surgery involves), so it’s not impossible to do both. The problem is convincing a surgeon that he should do an elective procedure on what amounts to a diseased eye — even if your pressures are stable now, there’s no guarantee that will remain the case indefinitely, and thinning the corneas via surgery makes it much more difficult to monitor pressures. There are other laser and non-laser refractive surgeries, but it’s still the same problem of doing surgery on an eye that has some preexisting problems.
Your best bet is to call around different surgery centres and say up front "Look, I have glaucoma, it was treated ___ years ago and my pressures are ___, will you still consider me as a patient?" Every surgeon has their own criteria, and they’ll let you know one way or the other.
