Visual Field requirements?

Hi guys, ive always wanted to be a pilot but im born with a nerve that is underdeveloped. My visual field is therefore rubbish (about 60%) in my left eye. I never noticed this as i was born with it and my right eye has compensated since birth.

This is going to sound stupid but i though as i was right handed, my right eye was stronger than my left eye but ive got it checked out by a neurosurgeon who told me that it wont get worse but it will never improve.

Do i have a chance (even a teeny weeny small one) of passing the Class 1 in the UK or should i thank Mother Nature for screwing up my lifelong dream. I have to admit when i found out that there was no chance of improvement in my case, i felt as if my whole life crashed around me.
