Yes

I know somebody who just had the surgery so that he could get medically cleared to box professionally. So yes 2X

Not here in the UK as an amateur you can't.....

History of retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataract or corneal or intra-ocular
surgery (and this includes all laser surgery) is a bar to boxing (previous squint
surgery that has given a good result is allowed)

.......although many do.........

I can't understand how corneal surgeries would be a problem after one has recovered from the surgery.

Lamon Brewster had suffered from retinal detachment which had been fixed. He kept fighting after that and in his last fight against Helenius his eye got injured with the same problem.

Couldn't a person just say no when they ask If you have had any eye surgery?

Yes and they do but are technically uninsured as the policy assumes adherence to the rulebook

PS: I think this is now disallowed by AIBA as well ?
