ATPL at the age of 37?

I am thinking of embarking on a career as a pilot at the age of 37. I have previously held a PPL. I also wear contact lenses and am just outside the requirements for a class 1 medical. I have spoken to the CAA and they have agreed that I can take a class 1 medical but it will have a deviation that I can only fly UK registered aircraft, but the deviation will be removed in the future.
If I gain a frozen ATPL probably at 39. Will my age and eyesight make it hard to secure an airline job?
