Sadly I'm in the same boat Maggi,found to my dismay from my AME b4 I went to get the Class 1 JAA medical just incase,just aswell!!! That my left eye passes the medical with my right eye falling outside the limits by 1.20.So I'm looking at the FAA CPL too but did read on the CAA website if your eyes reach the renewal/revalidation standards to contact the CAA.Which I duely did and they have told me to send in opticians report and they will look at it with possible view to a medical allowance for my
eye(s)
Maybe you should check this out aswell,though I'm not ounting my chickens on this but have also checked the FAA and my eyesight is good to go for that!
