My cousin brother, who is a pilot with a major airline, told me that when he first joined the industry, all airline companies only wanted pilots and air crew with perfect eyesight. Now, they have no problems recruiting people who have had corrective eye surgery.
I guess they know that many people have spoilt eyesight which could easily be corrected with laser eye surgery. I told my cousin that since there are so many people who need the help of eyeglasses, if airlines do not change, there wouldn't be that many people left for them to hire!
While some people think that it is risky to meddle with eye surgery when it is not absolutely necessary, technology has become so advanced now, most people who have had laser eye surgery have no regrets and do not feel any side effects or whatever.
Frankly, if I were to opt for laser eye surgery, I would be apprehensive as well but if I calculate the risk against the freedom of living without having to wear eyeglasses every day, I would go for the surgery.
Luckily, my eyesight, while not perfect, isn’t all that bad either and at the moment, I can even go without spectacles. I know this isn’t good and may worsen my condition but I feel very uncomfortable sticking a pair of glasses in my face.
