Is it just for active duty/veterans or can their dependents get it for free also? I've been thinking about getting eye surgery for years but like you said it cost thousands. How was the process?

Aw that's awesome! Where did you find a deal like that??
I don't think it's available for dependents because their whole reasoning for giving it to us for free is for when we are deployed and the **** hits the fan, it would be more dangerous if you had glasses and you were having issues with those instead of if you had better vision.
As for the process, PRK is taxing, involves a lot of work during your 3-5 months of recovery. My vision has been all over the place since the surgery, but that's normal. The surgery itself is quick and painless.
