Exclamation Astigmatism

I am about to take my class 1 JAA medical as I have just got through the CTC wings application process. Unfortunately, it appears that I may fail on my vision due to an astigmatism in my left eye. From what I can tell the limit is 2.00 dioptres and mine is 2.25. What I am unclear about is whether the limit is with or without correction as when wearing glasses my vision is perfect in that eye and in fact I have near perfect vision without glasses when using both eyes. I'd hate to fail now having got through selection.

Also, is there an appeal system as the renewal limit is for 3.00 dioptres. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am having a new eye test done on Thursday before I am allowed to book a medical at all.
