Don't give up, when i went for my medical i passed the test without glasses (unaided) but failed the test with glasses (aided) because my eye sight was no better with them. I was told to re-take the medical so i got a new prescription for my glasses, got to the second medical and failed again!! so they sent me to a specialist, i travelled miles to get there waited months etc and the specialist looked at my prescription, stuck a pair of optician glasses on me ( the inter-changeable type ones ) and i nailed the test, he told me that i had the wrong lenses in my glasses!!!
What i'm saying is, like many others, don't give up!!

Only 3% of applicants to the Royal Marines earn the right to wear the green beret.
Go on Google.co.uk and search for laser eye clinics near you (make sure your search within the UK), ring them up and ask about the treatments. I kno for LASIK you have to be around 24yrs old thats when your eyes stop growing. Or you can ring up your AFCO and ask them about it, i had done both but stopped searching when i found out about the age criteria.
