blind from laser eye surgery

blind from laser eye surgery
Is there hope for my dream?

I graduate from college the end of this year in aerospace engineering and ever since i was little i have always wanted to be an astronaut! i was reading how to become an astronaut but i have a problem, i dont have great vision. i have a lot of trouble from seeing from far away. I was reading that even if i get surgery i still cant go to space because the difference of the atmosphere will make me go blind. One of the main reasons why people dont make the space program is because of the physical. It is my ultimate dream to go to space. Does anyone know any formation on how to improve my eyes like special laser surgery or something, something that nasa will accept, if you can can you provide a link? Thank you.
and i am 21 years old, some surgeries you have to be a certain age
let me be a little bit more detailed the pressure in the atmosphere
ddrah i am a girl, but thanks for you comment

I’m in a similar position – final year aerospace engineering. I gave up the dream of becoming an astronaut a while ago, partly due to the fact that I will always need glasses. I’d say don’t hold everything on just being an astronaut – an astronautical engineer is pretty cool too! Then you can save all your pennies to catch a virgin galactic flight! I reckon being in a control room when you see your design touch down/make successful mission would be a pretty damn amazing feeling – that’s my dream to feel that and be in that situation one day.
If you really want to be an astronaut, all you can do is contact NASA and other space agencies and keep trying…
