Arrow cadet pilot

hello
Anybody knows if it is possible or not for a person with -8 diopters recruited by CX or KA.
I know CX accept cadet pilot even though he wear glasses.(A CX pilot told me)
I know the recent ICAO CPL standard is +/-3 diopters.But i know ICAO will relax this standard to 6/6 with or without correction in Nov.
I have GFPT standard in AUS and meet CASA medical 1 standard.
If the answer is no, do you have any suggestions?
Also, CX or KA would accept LASIK or ortho-K or not?(ICAO accept LASIK in Nov)
Also, i want to know the medical check procedure especially the eyesight check.
Will CX check your glasses in order to know your glasses' diopters?
Is it possible to memorize the first three lines of Snellen Chart( only 6 letters) when you come into the room?(if you can read the first three lines, you meet the 6/12 standard.)
Thanks a lot.
