TLDR : Answer Summary

The post inquires about the possibility of obtaining a DTV visa in Thailand due to LASIK surgery and questions the applicability of the trailing spouse rule in this context. Comments suggest that LASIK is a quick procedure, potentially questioning its legitimacy as a treatment for visa purposes, indicating skepticism about receiving a DTV visa based on this. The conversation reflects uncertainty about the visa system relating to medical treatments.

Lasik is done in a day or two, so that won't work.
