View allCan PRK surgery be detected during a railway medical exam since it's not allowed for the job I know LASIK is also banned but I'm more worried about PRK showing up on their eye tests
PRK can be detected during a railway medical exam, although it's not as easily detected as LASIK. While LASIK involves creating a flap that can be seen, PRK doesn't, making it more difficult to detect with standard slit lamp examinations. However, advanced tests like corneal topography can detect PRK, and some residual scarring from PRK can also be visible on slit lamp examination.

I'm 18 and have myopia with -2.25 and -1.75 power. I want to join NDA where the limit is -2.5. Can wearing glasses, taking vitamin A, eating healthy, and avoiding eye strain help reduce my myopia by just 0.25 or 1D? Or is there any other way to keep my power from increasing? I heard LASIK might make me unfit for NDA so what options do I have
my dear friend,-1.75 and -2.25 DS is already less than -2.50 ,so according to your claim of having myopia less than -2.50 is fulfilling your criteria.so no worries now.,go ahead and persue profession of your choice. but please make sure of the requirement standards of NDA. yes ,healthy diet is always helpful ,but you will have to keep using your glasses,otherwise your power would increase.
