Eye surgery/Corrected vision query

Hi, does anyone know if having corrective eye surgery/laser eye surgery to pass safely the CAA regs is allowed?

I have quite a bad astigmatism in my left eye which puts me outside the parametres - although I have recently become aware of surgery which can correct this at a cost. However my only goal of doing this is to pursue my CPL - which is a gamble if the regulations have not been confirmed in any way.

This has probably been queries many times but I can't seem to find any thread, nor can I find the correct info on the CAA website.

Thanks in advance - Dan
