If that gives you 6/6 and your age limit is between the given bracket of 16 to 22 years.

Sir the LASIK can give you perfect eyesight, but I asked a paf gentleman at recent ideas and he said that you might be disqualified if u underwent the surgery.

 

[Najam Khan]

Sir the LASIK can give you perfect eyesight, but I asked a paf gentleman at recent ideas and he said that you might be disqualified if u underwent the surgery.

He might be referring to the side affects of LASIK, such as double vision, visual distortion etc. In your case LASIK is a wild card, if your eyes sight gets better then its the best for you, however if you get side effects then it would become more problematic.

For selection in GD(P) branch eyes are given special importance, minor discrepancies are not even allowed. If you don't have much problem, then I would suggest CAE or other branches.

Sir what will be your suggestion to me since it looks like I will have a random shot and also very slim chance even if I clear ISSB and other aptitude tests. And as far as other branches are concerned, I don't want to even try for that, because its the flying that has always enthralled me.

My friend don't get me wrong, but this is not the end of the world. You can pursue any career you want if you have the motivation to learn and spirit of work. There are very few seats in GD(P) and they have candidates from all over Pakistan, its natural that they will go for the MOST suitable candidates...as they say 'The best one becomes the pilot'. Good luck with whatever decision you make!
