Class 1 failed due to exophoria

hello, first of all my english is not very good because i recentley moved in the uk so i will try my best to explain. 3 weeks ago ive done my class 1 medical in heatrow and evreything was fine also my vision was fine no color blindness no double vison and etc. but at the end they have find a type of stabismus (exophoria) that was over the limits and i never noticed this problem in my life some people call it also "hidden squint". Than the opthometrist at heatrow says that she will send me to a specialist in gatwick, so i went to gatwick and the specialist failed me because he says that my eyes currently are fine becaouse my fusional reserve are very good to prevent Diplopia (double vision) but he didnt passed me because he thinks that i have 10-20 % chance to have double vision at the age of 45-50 when i get old but not confirmed. My heart was in pieces and still it is and he said to me to give up my dream and change my carrier in a such rude way. Being a airliner pilot is my dream from childhood and i have worked alot for achieving my goal and now when i was close to realize my dream then he said to give up my dream in just one sec. This are the worst day of my life. so want to ask you guys is there any possible way to get the certification for class one? Any opinions?
This is what I’ve been working on my whole life, I want to do whatever is possible.
