Angels 99,
The eyesight standards do differ. I don't make the grade for RAF pilot, but I do for the RN and Army.
Also, last week I visited a teacher of the Bates Method. This is a natural method used to improve eyesight. I have only been doing the exercises for 1 week and I'm sure there has been an improvement. I will be getting an eye test next month to see if its working. I have -1.25 and -0.75 astigmatism (SP?) which is right on the limit for pilot in the RN and Army.
If you want to learn any more about this take a look at:

Does anyone have experience in using this method?
All the best mate, and good luck with the UAS
