Not qualified myself, so this is just an opinion but...

If your eyesight was too bad to fly commercially you would not pass a class 1 medical.

Other than the issue of the medical everything else should be medical-in-confidence anyway, an employer couldn't ask if your kidney function was slightly iffy - they just know it is sufficient to pass the hight rigorous standards required by the CAA...

Can't see a prob myself and wouldn't worry about it.
