Yeah, the FAA and pretty much everyone apart from the Brits have no problem with laser surgery. There are a lot of pilots flying commercially with sliced eyes.
I was considering this myself a while ago and consulted the doctors at the CAA - they said they categorically didn't allow it, and couldn't forsee a time when they would change their minds. It wasn't up for review. It looks like they will continue to apply the most stringent standards in the world for quite some time to come. Unfortunately for some of us.
From your post I presume it wasn't a CAA medical you were referring to? - I was told the CAA tests could detect both forms of laser surgery. If it wasn't, I guess you shouldn't really be worrying?
