Additional information
If I have been rejected from the reserves because my eyesight was -9 before lens implant surgery, how long do I have to wait before I can reapply? I have heard 2 years; is this correct?

I am not 100% sure on this I think it may be 12 months provided that the surgery has worked and you now meet the required sight level, it should not be an issue after the waiting date but ultimately it is up to the medical team in the process of the application.
