laser eye surgery and class 1

I was looking for some advice.
My left eye currently does not meet requirements for the class one medical certificate (just outside) and I was looking into laser eye surgery.
On the CAA website it states unless eyesight meets standard prior to surgery, surgery is not an option to gain a certificate.
I have heard from numerous pilots that they have gained a class one after laser surgery. Does any one have any experience similar to this or advice?
Thank you for your time,
Hannah
