Hi BoredMarketeer. If I was you, I would have the laser surgery to correct your eyesight to within class 1 limits. What I would NOT do is tell Medical Division as they won't give you a medical for a year after the surgery (you can't do that if you already have a class 2 of course!)
My eyesight is outside class 1 limits but I was given a medical after completing 700 hours flying. This was pre-JAR so I don't know if this option is available to you. Apparently the thinking is that a 700 hour pilot is experienced and so they are willing to relax the rules.Failing that get an FAA licence and marry a yank. Where theres a will....
