Pistol, I'm a F/O with Qantas and I have keratoconus which is a degenerative eye condition. Admittedly, it was only diagnosed after I got in to QF but I now wear glasses and QF have no dramas. They have for a number of years accepted pilots with corrective lenses. Their only questions are whether or not you can hold a Class 1 and whether the condition is expected to deteriorate to the stage where they would have to pay out on their loss of license insurance.

If you have 'run of the mill' eye conditions then I'd reckon it'll be no dramas.
