RAF eyesight tests

Hi people, i badly want to be a pilot and to have a commission in the RAF, but my eyesight wont allow for pilot. So...i am considering WSO instead, as this would allow me to get my RAF commission and be in the air. My eyesight when tested at a highstreet opticians comes out to be, +0.25 (left) , -0.25(right) with about 2D astigmatism in both. But one day i had my eyesight tested with this scary laser equipment and it said my eyesight was a lot worse (even though i can hapily get by without glasses)...oh dear!

My question is (finally), how do the RAF test eyesight. Is it like a standard highstreet optican...or......

Thanks for your help
