Exceeding the eyesight limits of a current class 1

Anyone out there have any experience of maintaining a class 1 here in the UK once your eyesight exceeds the limits?

I have had a UK class 1 for many years and have always been rather long sighted. As I approach middle age I now have the onset of presbyopia (age related long sight) on top of my already long sight which has caused my uncorrected vision to become much worse. I now sit at the limit of +5.00 diopters in each eye so no doubt over the next few years I will exceed that limit.

I can still achieve excellent vision with spectacles and have no underlying pathology. Anyone out there have any experience of maintaining a class 1 here in the UK once your eyesight exceeds the limits? Is it possible?
