I'm based in North West, I reached out to an AME in Manchester and this was the response:

It's possible for pilots to get a class 2 (PPL) medical with poor vision in one eye. I've attached some guidelines. Currently you wouldn't be able to fly commercially in the UK.

Obviously there are no guarantees - I would need to see you for a medical and would ask that you bring all of the hospital records and opticians records that you have. There may be a requirement to arrange further referrals/assessments etc. but I would be able to advise you further after I've seen you.
Medical is £180 so it maybe worth it for a clear answer, also I've been looking at BMAA microlights...... I'm really tempted but in the UK its not going to be as toasty as a PPL....... Plus I'd like a roof
