According to the genetically gifted  Wingman X, NASA is now permitting surgically corrected vision

– that is, if your 20/20 is the result of corrected vision – no problem from NASA.

The first person I met who I knew had the surgery went on to become a Port Authority police officer (for you out-of-towners – the Port Authority “of New York and New Jersey”) owns the NYC and Newark Airports, bus terminals, ports, and the World Trade Center – they have their own police force – I’m guessing about 1,500 sworn personnel). He or she had the surgery, become a cop – a damned good one, too. Don’t know if it was permissible then – hence the elliptical reference which might otherwise lead to identification.

Disclosure of interest: I took the NYPD test, and scored about the same as I did on the LSAT – but the law school people didn’t give me an eye exam.
