Class 1 Pass

Hi

I just passed a class 1 medical, but during the medical the optometrist mentioned that my right eye is slightly short sighted. He did say that it's nothing to worry about and that everything looks good. I myself never did notice that my right is a bit weak...

I've heard/read that some airlines have medical requirements higher than the class 1 (British Airways, for example)...so my question is how strict are they in terms of eye sight? Would my slight short-sighted right eye fail their medical requirements? I just found it difficult to read the very last line of letters with it...about 6 metres away I think (there were some lens placed in front of my eyes so I'm unsure if I would have or not been able to read it without).
