VISION THREAD (other than colour vision) 2

[CharlieDeltaUK]

Upgrade from Class 2 to Class 1 with eyesight outside +-5

I have a class 2 medical, with vision corrected for +6.5 (ish). If one applies for a Class 1, it looks like one needs uncorrected vision better than +-5. But, if I already have a class 2, is it possible to get a class 1 on the basis of corrected vision being OK, or am I forever precluded from a class 1 because my uncorrected vision is worse than +-5.0?

Having looked at the EASA doc, I think the answer could depend on whether a class 1 medical for me is an initial assessment or a re-validation. Also, I see that section e says there is no limit for incorrected visal acuity, which seems to contradict the previous paragraphs.
