Medical class 1(optic never)

Hi there

I recently went to an eye doctor and the doctor said I have a bigger than normal optic nerve cupping in both eyes (my left eye 0.7/1 and right 0.6/1, the average person having 0.4-0.5) He said that i am a "glaucoma suspect" meaning that there is a higher possibility for me to develop glaucoma compared to the average person. Besides the bigger than average cupping my eyes are both perfectly fine, my eye pressure and visual field is normal as well. I do not have any family history of glaucoma and my doctor said that some people are just born with a bigger than average cup. Should I be worried about this? Will this affect my chances of getting hired at an airline? Also, would I be able to get the Medical Class 1?
