Dependent on your corrected vision with either contact lenses or spectacles, you shouldn't have too much of a problem.
I understand that there has been much muttering within the JAA medical bods about such things, and they now accept that providing your corrected vision meets the requisite standards for the relavant medical, you can beissued with the appropraie certificate.

Be very careful about eye/laser surgery, it's very expensive and gives no guarantees, also, the UK CAA demand a year's grace between surgery and medical examination before they'll even consider issuing a medical certificate.
Much has been said about it on the medical and health forum.
