Is it possible for me to get a SODA for my eyesight?

Is it possible for me to get a SODA for my eyesight so I can get a commercial or ATP license?

My BCVA is 20/20 OS, 20/30 OD. I have grade 2 Retinopathy of Prematurity that has been stable for my entire life of 19-20 years.

My right eye is amblyopic, but my left eye completely compensates (I have driven my motorcycle with my right eye closed).

I have perfect monocular depth perception, color vision, and field of vision.

According to my optometrist and ophthalmologist, my right eye's acuity is steadily improving at every yearly exam.

I want to fly freighter jets, like the Boeing 747-400F.

My Dad was a supertanker captain, and I've always been fascinated by airplanes and piloting. I'd rather be in the air than bored to death at sea...at least pilots have more things to occupy their minds.

Thanks,
Doug
