Optimistic with an Astigmatism

Hi,

I have been the holder of a Class 1 medical (CASA and South Africa), and am required to wear corrective lenses....

However I have a JAR Class 1 booked for tuesday, and I don't know why but decidedd to pop in to an optician and have my eyes checked out. I never knew what my prescription was previously, but it hasn't changed (confirmed by a quick call to my previous optician). The reults were as follows

R 0.0 -2.75 2
L 0.0 -3.25 179,

Much to my horror I will not even get a JAR Class 2 Medical with this!! I have held a Class 1 since 2003.

Obviously I will call Gatwick Medical Centre on Monday to find out what they have to say. However, what are the realistic chances of getting a JAR class 1?

Any advice is greatly appreciated...

Thanks
