That's great news! I got my Class 1 Medical issued last month but with the restrictions to wear glasses (obviously) and carry a spare set. And also the need for specialist eye exams every two years. I believe it did have to be referred to the Medical Assessor of the AESA (Spanish CAA) for final decision but the eye exam itself was a normal part of the medical. Importantly my eyes had no pathology and my corrected visual acuity was 1.2 (needs to be .7 or better in each eye and 1.0 together).
Hope my experience is of us to others with high myopia
