    Requirements and probablity of becoming a pilot

    Hello

    I am an 18 yr old senior with a 3.8 GPA and I took the asvab pre-test and missed one of the questions.  The only downfall to my dream is that I am near-sighted.  I have been told by my recruiter that this is fixable by lasic surgery.  Does the Air Force allow fighter pilots to have this surgery?  I have been told that they permit it but I'd like to hear from a current pilot or previous pilot of the AF an absolute.  So let's say someone was to be near-sighted and wanted to join, did good in school, was top in all of his classes at the academy, and met all the physical requirements to become a pilot and then had the surgery, would he be able to pursue his dream as a pilot? 

    Thanks~
