JAA Class 2 with substandard vision

Hi guys,
My goal is to get a JAA PPL. Today, I found out that my eyes our substandard:

LEFT:
RIGHT:

I have perfect eyesight with my glasses, but I fall beyond the limits. I think I could manage to get me an FAA Medical and go for the FAA PPL but that would make flying in Europe a lot more difficult (only N-reg's). Now here's my question: is it absolutely impossible to get a JAA Class 2 Medical in my case or is there 'another way'?
Like:
- keep writing/insisting
- 'prove' the CAA that I CAN fly an airplane perfectly safe?
Anyone has any experience with this or know any other examples?
Thanks!
