Norton2005: I have -7.00, just like you and I am currently waiting for answer from the UK CAA Aero Medical, if I can get an dispensation. I wrote and asked them if it was possible on a mail. They requested my last eye perscription and I sent it by snail mail to them in the beginning of September.
I dicussed this with my optician and he told me that the differens from having -6.00 and me having -7.00 is that without glasses the difference is only 1 cm when you have to see a text clearly.
Ex. with -6.00 you would have the text 20cm from your eye and with -7.00 you will need to have it 19cm from your eyes to read the text clearly.
So I really hope for a positive answer. Does anyone know how long it will take to get an answer from them?
