Answers:

What is your uncorrected vision and corrected vision (doesn't matter what the prescription is).

Requirements for pilot's licence vary from country to country, call the nearest flight training centre and ask what the local law is. For many places, the requirement is to be able to see 20/20 in each eye and they don't care whether you need glasses or not. So if your vision is not 20/20 without glasses, then, yes, you will need glasses for flying.

Those who hire pilots might have stricter requirements, some military and commercial employers will specify a level of uncorrected vision as well as corrected. Again, you will have to check with the potential employers in your area.
