I have heard of laser eye surgery (Lasek and Lasik) but there is now a lens replacement procedure - CLARIVU.
Does anybody know what the CAA's attitude to this procedure is?
As I understand it, clarivu is basically the same as an IOL operation for cataracts. CAA's guidance for cataract surgery for class 2 holders is simply to be grounded until the eye(s) have recovered:
Visual System GM | Medical | Personal Licences and Training
However, there may be other issues depending on the type of IOL that is used. Specifically, multifocal IOLs can't be used:

Have you considered bifocal or progressive *glasses*?
