In the US (FAA) if you can see 20/20 distant, you're good. Any correction is allowed. Near/mid vision (usually only an issue for older people is something like 20/40, so that's early an issue.
UK/EU could be somewhat different (the US used to have a limit on correction, I know some countries still do). I'd ask the question on pprune.org, we're mostly US pilots here.
Also in the US (and presumably UK) it's not uncommon to get waivers for slight exceedances of things like hearing and vision standards.
