He also said that eventually I'll be able to get laser eye surgery if I wanted, but I can't remember how long he said I should wait. I think it was 5 years, but maybe he said 10. I'm not sure.

My question is: How long would you suggest I wait until I get laser eye surgery?

I also want to add, he said it was one of the worst cases of neovascularization he's seen in 25 years.
Stability is the key with laser. Has your prescription and condition been stable for 2 to 3 years ? If so, then it should be ok. I would get an assessment done at a laser center to confirm though.
