FAA use to have a 20/100 uncorrected requirement (each eye), but that was eliminated over a decade ago. Some US airlines do their own medical exam, and some continued to require 20/100 uncorrected (which you would not meet with that prescription). I think that requirement is going away do to lawsuits, and fewer airlines do their own medical exam anymore...many just accept an FAA first class as good.
