Changing your prescription might help if your right eye can be corrected to 6/6, but only an optometrist can confirm that.
That's not correct. The CAA state: (1) For a class 1 medical certificate:
(i) Distant visual acuity, with or without correction, shall be 6/9 (0,7) or better in each eye separately and visual acuity with both eyes shall be 6/6 (1,0) or better.
(ii) At the initial examination, applicants with substandard vision in one eye shall be assessed as unfit.
I am not too sure why OP has failed?
