Above all, don't give up!!
I too had my dreams shattered a couple of years ago when they screwed me for a bureaucratic issue (a completely wrong 'specialist' report). I couldn't even get a Class 2.
Today, after many tears and years of fighting I hold unrestricted Class 1 medicals from three different aviation authorities, including a JAA Class 1!
It can be done if you are ready to sit it out. Be aware though it may take some time. If all fails in Europe then try and go somewhere else to live and work. Australia for example doesn't take those eye issues that seriously; I've even heard of a one-eyed 737 captain over there. His licence is restricted to Aussie airspace only but thar country is big enough...
Best of luck!
