    Had LASIK four months ago, thinking about Emirates and Qatar. Do they accept laser surgery and how long do I wait? Any documents needed?

    Accepted at both once it's healed and signed off by your surgeon, usually 3 to 6 months post op. Bring the surgeon's letter with the pre and post op prescriptions to the medical. Four months is inside the window, so by the time you reach a medical you'll be fine.

    Japanese carriers same, with a stable prescription letter. Nobody has an issue with LASIK anymore.
