Regardless of aviation ambitions, I would be very very careful about "laser" eye surgery (most of which does involve a blade, but that's beside the point.)
My caution is based on first-hand reports of other film and TV people I know who've had it done, and who've complained about flare around bright lights and general milkiness in high contrast situations. In one case this was reportedly worse than the asymmetric flare caused by the astigmatism the procedure was intended to correct. This is presumably due to the laser-ablated optical surface not being completely smooth - we have mist filters for cameras which do exactly the same thing, but I don't think you really want that done to your eyes, especially if you're going to be looking through a HUD for the tanker, at night...
