Depends on how well your corrective lenses work! I have a similar prescription and I am entitled to drive - I don't because it makes me so damn anxious, that probably has more to do with just being anxious than my eyesight though.

You could go for a check up at an opticians for a definite opinion. Tell them in advance you are interested in being tested for a driving licence as there are specific things you need to be checked for, and you need to get the eyesight form that goes with the licence and get them to fill it out.
