Sorry to hear about your eyesight limitations, that probably will be a deal
breaker, on the other hand Myopia can have its benefits too.
Are children with myopia more intelligen... [Ann Acad Med Stetin. 2008] - PubMed - NCBI
Are children with myopia more intelligent? A literature review.
Czepita D, Lodygowska E, Czepita M.
....
blah,blah,blah
....
CONCLUSIONS:

The conducted clinical observations suggest that children with myopia may have a higher IQ. This relationship is most probably determined by genetic and environmental factors.
So you might not become a fighter pilot ,you're probably to intelligent to do that anyway , but you might do other more mentally demanding work later like actually designing fighter jets.
