H i everybody,

I need some advice. Last November I did my class 1 medical , but sadly I failed the exam because my astigmatism being 2.5 diopters in my left eye and the maximum initial being 2.0.
I then heard I could be eligible for a class 1 deviation with the CAA, when I emailed them they confirmed that I could indeed get a deviation, but told me that the new EASA regulations would be coming in from April ,so I decided to wait to see the situation was, because I didn't want to start training and be told I had my deviation taken off me.
Now that it is April I'm left in a situation where i am unsure what my options are(if any),is the deviation system completely gone for new applicants ,leading up to April I heard rumors that the initial astigmatism limit will be eased, is this true?
If anyone could give me some advice I would be very great full for the help.

Thank you.
