Lucifer,

The CAA regards Laser Surgery as acceptable so long as you stick by their strict guidelines which include withdrawal of medical for 12 months after surgery and extensive tests and reports. So there is a possibility that you could fail the medical but people please remember that Laser surgery does NOT work for everyone (although the vast majority) and in extreme cases can lead to permanent, incorrectable damage. Be wary of surgery JUST to try and get a Class 1!

Hope this helps,

SB
