Hi there !
I'm in the same situation as you beside a myopia of -5.75.
Not lucky. I'm currently looking for infos about it, and found a few ones, cases of pilots who succeded in flying commercially in North America and Canada with this problem.
Some with problems of esophoria, exophoria, amblyopia,strabismus , and strabismus operated in childhood and therefore a deficient depth perception. They fought for it and they won.
What about you ? Do you have a strabismus or that kind of thing, esophoria , exophoria, hyperphoria ?
Look at the standards to see your are within the prism diopter limits.
