laser eye surgery pilot

Do you need 20/20 vision to become a fighter/jet pilot in the air force?

ok so i want to go into the air force and become a jet pilot. Do i need 20/20 vision? Can i use glasses, contacts, or get laser eye surgery or something?

Don’t let the other answers scare you off!
USAF: 20/70 correctable 20/20 or better
USN/USMC: 20/40 correctable 20/20 or better
For both:
- No Astigmatism
- No Colorblindness
- No depth perception problems
- No night vision issues
Laser surgery is accepted with a waiver. All three services prefer PRK for their aircrews; while lasik is currently accepted, personally I would go with what active duty crews are using.
If you have questions about commissioning, and pilot/nav training please PM me.
