I had LASIK several years ago and despite being outside the JAA limits for astigmatism prior to surgery, they gave me the Class 1. I too was tempted to lie and at one stage had booked the medical with the intention of telling porky pies and trying my luck. I bottled out and decided that I would be better to fight my corner without resorting to lies. I gained an FAA Class 1 and to my surprise the CAA used the FAA eye evaluation form to aid their decision. Make sure any surgery is documented well. It may be possible to get the medical on a renewal if you get an FAA CPL first. The CAA are likely to give you no real idea of where you stand. They do not encourage surgery to gain your Class 1. However, I wouln't have my Class 1 if it were not for the LASIK!
