I was told to post here because they apparently are. TYhe UK are apparently very strict whereas countries such as the US and Canada are not. The CAA states that past a certain prescription you cannot obtain a class 1 medical whether the vision is corrected or not. The FAA state (not in so many words) that they basically don't care about prescription as long as the vision can be corrected to 20/20 with glasses or contacts or LASIK surgery
