Don't give up is my advice. Like you, all I ever wanted was to fly. However a RAF Wing Commnader told me I had quote an eye disease unquote when I was 20 and that the end of my dreams - I thought. What he meant was that I was going to be long-sighted and sure enough I am. Okay so I could not go military, but I would have been okay for Class One if he hadn't scared the hell out of me. Three years later I started to wear glasses and my eyes have slowly got worse. But only last month, those nice CAA people gave me a shiny Class One Medical. And what's more, they would probably give you a Class One even if your eyesight was worse than the +/- 3 limits if your prescription will meet the planned limits of +/- 5. And a friend of mine has just had a very similar experience. Please, what ever you do, do not just accept that you might not be able to fly - get specialist advice. Also speak to the CAA: despite what people like to say, they have been fantastic with me (even if #220 is crazy money to issue a PPL). Good luck
