Laser Eye surgery update

Hi all

Having been out of the loop for the last few years in the UK i was wondering if anyone can help.
I have been keen for a while on getting laser eye surgery however i seem to remember this could cause a problem regarding the class one medical in the UK in as far as is being suspended for a time.

I was wondering if any thing has changed in the last few years and has this been relaxed or is it still going to be a no go for a full time commercial pilot?

Any spelling mistakes made above are probably due to me not having my lenses in! :O

Many thanks

you might want to check if other CAAs are more flexible (Latvian, German and Icelandic are, am unsure about others) to get a medical to match your UK licence. In that case there might be no need to bother your CAA...
