Question Inital Class 1 medical soon..and I am worried!

I have my inital class one medical booked for the begining of May at Gatwick, and boy am I worried about it.
I was lucky enough to have a BUPA healthcheck on the company recently, and it is pretty damn thorough. I used it as a precursor to the Class 1 in case anything was wrong. I passed everything ok, but I am still worried...particularly on the eyesight front (I have no problems as far as I know - but you hear of people going along and discovering things they never knew they had!!), and also on the weight front.

Has anyone got any info on the eyesight requirements...I have seen the caa website but want to know what the results mean. My BUPA healthcheck showed I had 6/6 but they measured the nearsight as N/4....what does this mean???

Also, what are the boundarys or the limits when it comes to weight/body/fat ratios etc. I am not grossly overweight...but I am heavier as I should be. Has anyone got any advice????

Help!! Scared!!!!
