Laser Eye Surgery?

Hello!

Newbie here. Working towards my PPL with the aim of continuing to my CPL asap. Problem: my left eye astigmatism is -2.75, not going to fly (pardon the pun). Possible solution: Laser eye surgery in that eye (my right eye is well within the CAA requirements). Anyone here had laser eye surgery and got a class 1 medical ok? What are people's thoughts on it? The CAA's official line is that they don't tell people to go get it done, but if you pass the additional tests they do for laser eye patients, it must mean they aren't adverse to the procedure?

Cheers
