LASIK

What are the current regulations in the UK regarding Corrective Laser Eye Surgery? I currently hold a class 1 and have my renewal coming up in just over a month. I went to see my optician yesterday and I've had to increase my perscription, although it is still within limits I'm now considering LASIK to resolve the problem. Do the CAA still require a year off in between having the treatment done and regaining your class 1? This seems somewhat restrictive, I have several friends who have had it done and they've been back at work with perfect vision the next day, albeit in ground based jobs!
