Too many people give up when they get denied. Your vision might not meet requirements, but neither does most pilots out there glasses or not. I'm not saying they let anyone up. I was a special situation and underwent testing. But there are options considering you have 400 hours assuming incident free. Clearly you can fly the a/c.

I would personally go see you faa medical doctor - (the one who has the say if you get the cat 1 or not). See him in person.

Over the phone I got told quote un quote" "Ron don't bother going for your cat 1 I will never approve you for it". My luck, he retired and another aviation med guy came on and approved me with a restricted cat 1 to dual flying only........then condition removed. My success was making the drive to see him in person.

Just some food for thought!
