I'm about to have surgery through the military so I've been through all the briefings and counseling recently.

Does the military use its own laser eye surgeons, or does it farm patients out to civilians? Google mostly turned up stuff about people having it done outside of the military healthcare system.

Had my pre-op today prior to my surgery on Thursday and they switched me from LASIK to PRK, so it'll be a fun weekend.

Had it done today. Whole thing took like 10 minutes and was relatively painless except for the freezing cold drops they put in your eyes after the laser part.

What did you go for? LASIK?

PRK. So it'll be a bit longer before my eyesight is perfect.

LASEK is basically PRK. The recovery period is longer, but there are fewer complications. I had my 2 week checkup last week and was already at 20/25.

I drank two days after PRK and was fine. But I'm an expert drinker so I wouldn't try that at home.
