Before reading please note my question is not about whether they accept corrected eyesight or not, I know they do if it is back beyond a certain level. My question is whether having a medical discharge from the Egyptian army due to eyesight problems will be a trouble or not.
Hello guys, I have poor eyesight but eligible to perform correction surgery and the doctor told me I will be back to 6/6. I am from Egypt so we have conscription here for a year after college. My plan was to deliberatley get a medical discharge from egyptian conscription and then perform the surgey and wait sometime to make sure everything is ok then go straight to paris. If I perform the correction surgery before I graduate (graduating next june and conscription starts in october 2018) I will get accepted in the conscription and will probably serve for 1 year and i'll probably be shipped to a paratrooper/special forces regiment because of my athletic body. If not then I will be medically discharged. Would this medical discharge affect my chances in the legion afterwards? I mean if they do their background check would they be able to figure out that I was medically discharged from the Egyptian army for eyesight problems or they won't know unless i say? And would that medical discharge really matter if my eyesight is back to 6/6? My brother has just perform the surgery with the same doctor 3 months ago and we both have identical vision problems and he is now 6/6 with no problems.
