The answer is the same whether you are asking about (eye) doctors or the general non-medical population. That is, that there are the other options of spectacles and contact lenses, and perhaps they feel just fine wearing glasses or contact lenses.
Most non-doctors do not go for LASIK, and it is just the same with doctors. If you are wondering whether as a group, fewer doctors have LASIK compared to the general population, then I don't think anyone knows the answer to that. I know many doctor colleagues (both local and overseas) who had LASIK done themselves.
Here’s one (who is a LASIK surgeon himself) who did:
Here's another LASIK surgeon who had it done himself:

He then later did the LASIK operation on his son, who is also an eye surgeon:

I would think that plenty of doctors have already had it done, it’s just that they do not usually go around telling people about it. Of course, the actual numbers are likely to differ in different parts of the world. But the common thinking that doctors who have myopia don’t undergo these surgeries is a myth and probably reflects a kind of cognitive bias.
Clearly, LASIK or other refractive surgery is just one among several options for improving vision in those with refractive errors. Depending on lifestyle and individual preferences, one or other of these choices might suit the particular person better. And it doesn’t really matter whether that person is a doctor or not…
