difference in vision required for domestic vs international commercial pilots?

Hi,

I had a class 2 medical exam for my student pilots licence today.

My Doctor mentioned with my sight(I wear glasses, I never considered my vision to be massively bad though, well not till today) I wouldn't be able to ever be a commercial international pilot, although a domestic commercial pilot is ok.

He also mention laser eye surgery is frowned upon, from reading Chuck's post it looks like some countries this might be acceptable. Could anyone point me in the right direction to clarify for an International pilot? Would the local aviation authority be the right place, in my case CASA?
Don't really want my dream shot down so early in the piece.
