FAA monocular vision

Hey i was wondering if i meet the criteria for a monocular vision waiver in terms of the FAA standards. 20/25 in the left eye and 20/200 in the right corrected. Contact lens power is -11.0 in the left and -12.0 in the right. I read the regulations on monocular vision and they said that you can get a waiver the lens power is +-3.0 but im thinking to myself if i can get 20/25 why does the FAA care what power my lenses are. Any reason as to why or what i can do about it to get a third class medical. Really hope that the GAPPA Act passes so no medical is needed to fly private.
