Advice on vision

Hey...

I suffered a blow today, i read my Astigmatism strength wrong when i first looked into been a pilot, and when i went over the datails again today i noticed that in my left eye i have an Astigmatism of 2.5 =(

2 is the limits of the C1 CAA Medical, but i was wondering if there are any pilots out there flying with stronger, or if there are any way around this problem as such?

The CAA website says if i have Lasik surgery that my uncorrected vision still needs to be within limits before Lasik, but it only states vision and not astigmatism, so is the an option to consider?

I would appreciate any help or advice...
