Grrr Need urgent advice..

Need Advice..
My lifelong dream has been to become an airline pilot and at the age of 15 I embarked on my journey towards my career as an airline pilot.
I completed my PPL-A and got a Medical class 2, I have been to several tests in my life, including my general military health test for military service and none of them has concluded that anything was wrong with me.
I have flight experience from Scandinavia and UK with a night rating.
On February 2014 I took at initial class 1 in Oslo, and they failed me because my hyperphoria was outside the limits, I was gutted, but didn`t want it all to end now.
So July 2014 I started on a vision therapy program 3 times a day, quit my job and did everything in my power, every day for now over 8 months to get my eyes fixed, I also when regularly to a vision therapist.
My results were astonishing and I got my height deviation down from an 8 to 2 at the end of my program, 1 month later, I visited an optician and it was about 1-1.5, and I saw a light in the tunnel.
A few days ago I scheduled an initial class 1 at Gatwick, and I now need further assessment from a specialist eye doctor to see whether or not I am at the risk of developing double vision. This will either give me a un-restricted, co-pilot restricted or not any at all, depending on the results, but my luck hasn`t been to good lately.
What are my chances of getting a class 1 medical, even with restrictions? What limitation does this create for me job wise?
If I went on and got a FAA CPL, IR and CFI (with SODA), how are the N-registered market in the UK, around London?
Do anyone have experience with Botox treatment for ocular instability?
