Class 1 Eyesight...requirements unclear

Evening all,

I am about to go for my class 1 medical but i have astigmatism

The requirements state that you have vision of 6/9 each eye and 6/6 together, and that refractive error must not excede 2 dioptres for astigmatism.

My question is that with the maximum allowable correction, i do achieve the required vision however my full prescripition is larger than 2 dioptres astigmatism....will this be an issue..or will i be ok as long as i can read the letters with less than my full prescription such that i'm in limits.

Many Thanks
