CAA Class 1 Vision Query

Hi, I have a question regarding the vision requirements for the CAA Class 1 Medical and cannot find any answers to this on the CAA website nor after calling them (have sent emails too, but they passed me on to the aeromedical doctors...)

I understand that the spectacle correction limits are:
Hypermetropia not exceeding +5.0 dioptres;
Myopia not exceeding -6.0 dioptres;
Astigmatism not exceeding 2.0 dioptres;
Anisometropia not exceeding 2.0 dioptres

However, I cannot find any clear cut information on the vision strength required. I've read conflicting blogs and articles around the web, some of which claim you require 6/6 or 20/20 binocular and monocular vision, while some other websites claim the threshold is 6/6 binocular vision and 6/9 monocular vision.

Does anyone know which it is? 6/6 all around or 6/9 for each separate eye with 6/6 binocular vision? Thanks.
