Reason for refusal (eyesight/NATS)

I've just received word back from NATS that I have would not be accepted for training due to the fact that my eyesight is outside the limits for gaining a Class 1 medical.
My eyesight is +4.25 and +4.50 and I have no other eye problems (confirmed by my optician and an opthalmic specialist). The CAA website states that +/-5.00 is the limit.
Anyone know why I would have been refused?
Is there any way around this (special circumstances etc.)?

Thanks
