Class one eyesight requirements

I did my FAA private license last year and planned on getting a class 1 medical at the same time. Unfortunatly my eyesight fell below the requirements so I accepted a class 3 and decided to reapply for the class 1 after seeing my optician back in the UK.

As it turns out I have perfect vision in 1 eye but pretty poor in the other. Due to the difference in standard between the eyes, and the fact that I have lived with uncorrected sight for the past 20 years there is now nothing they can do to correct the problem so I cannot achieve 20-20.

Does anyone know if it is now possible for me to obtain a class 1 certificate?
