Laser Eye Correction

I'm an Australian PPL pilot and I am currently undertaking my CPL training.

I have myopia (shortsightedness) which isn't too bad, but I have to wear glasses for flying.

I'm considering having laser eye correction and CASA wasn't particularly helpful when I asked about how this will affect my flying privileges, other than to say if I'm cleared by a DAME Opthamologist its ok, but no guarantees...... pretty vague advice!

I'm quite nervous about the procedure generally (the thought of someone cutting my eye open doesn't exactly make me think of Christmas!) and the lack of aviation advice hasn't helped....

Has anyone had any experiences in either having laser eye correction or any other related info that they would like to share....
