High Myopia Pilots (EASA)

Are there any pilots out there (particularly in the EU) flying with high or very high myopia?

I am getting an ophthalmology exam soon to understand the compete health of my eyes to know if I'll be able to meet the EASA Class 1 Medical standards (in hopes of starting my ATPL training) but I already know my myopia is around -7.5 dioptres.

But I feel like ever document I look at is giving me different info. Some say you can't be passed with anything more than -6.0, some say -6.0 requires an additional ophthalmology exam and others say anything more than -6.0 means eye tests every two years rather than every 5. Then I'm also curious if

Can someone please help shine some light on this for me? And if you are a pilot or training for your ATPL with high myopia how did your experience getting your class 1 medical go?
