If you're planning to do this for a living, and you do have concerns about your ability to pass your medical, then it may behoove you to do what it takes to get with your eye doctor first.

You indicated that you have eight months remaining. You can't get an appointment in eight months?

You indicated that you don't want to wear glasses, but you have an eye doctor?

It's best if you don't get denied for a medical, or deferred. If you go in for a medical and can't pass, the AME will simply add the restriction that you must wear corrective lenses. If you don't have corrective lenses (the standard for vision is corrected vision), then the AME can't really test your corrected vision and may have no choice but to defer your medical.

If you've got eight months and you're uncertain, why not just get certain with your own physician first so you know where you stand? Your explanation is inconsistent; best to work that out first.
