NATS Medical Standards Question

I have a friend who is interested in becoming an Air Traffic Controller. Her eyesight is close to the limit for a Class 1 medical but she will probably get one.

Does NATS have it's own medical requirements on top of holding a Class 1 medical? ie. Does her eyesight have to be significantly better than Class 1 standard to be suitable for employment, despite holding a Class 1 medical?

I only ask as my employer (Big Airways) has it's own initial medical which, certainly when I went through a few years ago, was more stringent than the CAA.
