Laser eye surgery in the US Navy

The New York Times has an article about laser eye surgery in the US Navy. The surgery is offered to all cadets at the US Naval Academy and is having an effect of the careers chosen by the cadets. In the past many cadets did not qualify for pilot or SEAL training because of their eye sight and had to select alternative careers, the submarine service in particular.

As far as I know in Canada, pilots are not allowed to have had the surgery.
