FAA medicals

Hi Guys,
I need a bit of help please! Basically my uncorrecred eyesight is awful, my prescription is -11 diopters, and I am largely Monocular through my right eye . Now I have a JAA PPL, and a CAA class 2 medical with an exemption as I have proved I am safe to fly using my normal glasses and had special examinations , but they will not even consider a class 1 medical ....
I was just wondering, If I wanted to be a flight instructor in the USA, what medical eye standard would I need to meet? as I understand CPL over there is less stringent than ATPL? If anyone has any info please can you let me know?
