I haven an amblyopic eye, which I believe in America allows me to be eligable for a waiver and fly for the airlines? Is this avaliable anywhere else in the world?

If you cannot correct each eye to 20/20, then you might want to get a second opinion or look into specialty treatments such as LASIK (wave-front).
Note: The FAA used to require 20/100 uncorrected, but they eliminated this requirement about 10 years ago. Many other countries still have this requirement.
