UK class 1 deviation with astigmatism

I am currently a holder of a UK class 1 with deviation due to my astigmatism and i am in a serious dilemma. My astigmatism is 2.50 on both eyes and I am in my early 20s, should I consider a laser surgery to make sure that my astigmatism will not exceed the limit of 3.0. And can please someone explain to me what will happen after my surgery (career wise, Will I be suspend from work for 6 months or more?)

FYI: I still haven’t started my advanced flight training, if I do have the surgery should I get it done before I start?
