If you mean the medical requirements, look at Annex IV here

(Euro law but copied & pasted into UK law).

CAA's Skyway code might be useful, AFE PPL course books or the Air Pilot's manual are good for general understanding & studying for the exams. The books are also available individually if you don't want to buy the full set.

Hi, For what's worth it:

I have been denied a Medical Class 2 due to monocular vision. However, I must mention that I don't have any depth perception.
It is true that you are able to obtain a Class 2 if you have reduced depth perception.
I received a LAPL instead. But I am Belgian, not UK.

Happy holidays!

I used to fly with two pilots in the RAF who only had one eye each.

Wiley Post was a one eyed pilot, flew the first earth circumnavigation in a single engine aircraft and was the developer of the first practical pressure suit for high altitude flight

We had two chaps who when they flew together had a pair of hands between them. One had lost the fingers on one hand through a farming accident, the other had lost the fingers on one hand when he landed on a booby trapped artillery shell.
