Question What are my options?

I am short sighted to the tune of -8 in one eye and -9 in the other (approx.), plus I have astigmatism on top of that. I've already discovered that there is no way I'm going to pass a Class 1 medical here in the UK, and so I have two questions:

Firstly, would any of the following countries allow me to gain an ATPL with my current prescription: USA, Canada, NZ or Asutralia?

Secondly, what would be the highest level of pilot's licence I could gain in the UK with my current prescription and what sort of flying work could I get (e.g. could I fly cargo?).

Thanks in advance.
