Hello Aspirant!

According to various reports the Navy, Army, Marine Corps and Air Force do not allow people into the military who have already undergone the procedure of Implantable Collamer Lens surgery .  Radial Keratotomy (RK) surgery for correction of refractive errors is not permitted for any Air Force duties. Candidates having undergone cataract surgery with or without IOL implants will also be declared unfit.

Candidates who have undergone Photo Refractive Keratotomy(PRK) /Laser in Situ Keratomileusis(LASIK) may be considered fit for commissioning in Air Force all branches.

As you have multiple posts options available within the Indian Army, a few of them might not allow any vision correction surgery. Therefore, if your purpose of getting vision correction surgery done is just get through medical evaluation so double check whether LASIK/ICL is allowed or not for that particular posts.
