Pilot job prospects with glasses ?

Hi I'm 17 and have always wanted to be a pilot :-)

I am applying for a CAA class one medical shortly to hopefully enable me to continue with my dream! Hopefully il pass :-)

However I have a high prescription my eyes aren't great however there corrected to the required standard and I'm told I still can pass with further eye checks !

Just wondering will the fact I have glasses and a high prescription affect me when applying for jobs ? Will it make me a less attractive candidate to airlines or as long as I have my class one medical will I be ok?

My eyes again to reiterate Are corrected to just as good as everyone else (6/6 20/20) I just have a strong prescription !


Do airlines even look further than the class one or will presenting that on interview or application be enough ?
Will my prescription affect me?
Thanks very much!
