Question Eyesight and Career options

Hello,

I'm looking to achieve my dream of becoming a pilot. Currently 16 years old with good GCSE's.

The problem is that one of my eyes isn't up to the standards required for a Class 1 medical from the CAA. However, the other is perfect and both combined vision is 6/5 (better than average).

1) Is there any way for an exception and a way to still gain my Class 1?
2) With a class 2, can i become a cargo pilot for eg. Fedex or UPS?

Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated,

Regards,
Matt
