Hi,

I am not a pilot and have no experience of the CAA, however I have had LASIK surgery in both eyes. For me it was a good move and I am pleased I had it done although it does mean my dusk/night vision is quite impaired as all lights tend to 'star'. I was warned about lights showing a 'halo' effect, but what I now live with is more pronounced than I ever expected. It might be worth asking your consultant about these effects. I had the wave-front (NASA based) guided laser technology that was the newest available about 8 years ago. Assuming CAA are happy, and consultant provides the right answers for you - then all the best if you go ahead.
