My Vision (eyesight) ... My dream

Hello everyone,
I went in today to a LAME to get my first aviation medical, class 2. I always knew that if something would get me into trouble, it would be my eye sight. The reason why I went in to get my medical, is because I hope to go solo in the next month or two and get my gfpt in December. My dream is to become an airline pilot in Australia, I am currently 16 and a half. My heart dropped today when the LAME said I will require glasses If i wanted to fly. As a result my medical will not be processed until I get my glasses.

He said that my vision is 6/9 and 6/12, I am not quite sure how bad this is but I assume its pretty bad. I am fairly worried about this.
Want happens if my eyes get worse even after I get glasses?
Does this mean my chances of becoming an airline pilot are in doubt?

Agh Im worried.

Thanks ...
