 Is It Better to Get LASIK or LASEK During Military Service?

Ideally, it’s best to undergo the surgery before military. Military life involves intense physical activity and training, which can be inconvenient when wearing glasses. Having vision correction surgery beforehand makes daily life in the military much easier.


SMILE is recommended 1–2 weeks before enlistment, LASIK about 1 month prior, and LASEK at least 3–6 months prior. If you plan to use a short vacation for surgery, SMILE is the best option due to its quick recovery and minimal postoperative care. 

LASIK requires about a month of caution due to the corneal flap, and LASEK involves long-term eye drop use. For a more comfortable military experience, SMILE surgery is highly recommended.


Is It Safe to Undergo CBR Training after Vision Correction Surgery?



During CBR training, tear gas primarily affects the corneal epithelium, the outermost layer of the eye. It rarely reaches the deeper corneal stroma, so as long as you avoid rubbing your eyes, there’s generally no serious problem.


However, after LASIK or LASEK, it’s important not to rub your eyes, as doing so can damage the corneal surface. In contrast, with SMILE surgery, the risk is much lower, and rubbing is less of a concern. If your eyes feel irritated, simply use a few eye drops to relieve the discomfort.
