It would appear that I am in the same boat as you ...
I have a lazy right eye but fortunately it will correct to 6/9 so I can just scrape through the medical. Like you I also have VDL stamped on my medical form. It seems like a bit of a technicality as I have binocular vision of 6/5 with or without my glasses! I'd fail an FAA class 1 medical though :-(
