laser eye surgery complications

why can’t you be a pilot or train driver if you have laser eye surgery?

complications that affect the vision after this surgery appear to be very rare

You can be a pilot after having corrective surgery. I know this because I have several friends that I work with that have had lasik. They only had to demonstrate to their aeromedical physician that there were no complications from the surgery.

You can also be a pilot with glasses or contacts. I know because I am a pilot and I have glasses.

Not sure about the train driver requirements.
