The answer is no. Getting an aviation degree or going to an aviation college is not a requirement to become an airline pilot. In fact, major airlines accept any and all Bachelor fields and aren't the least bit concerned with what you studied in college.

Hence, for the first question the answer is No, you don't need to have perfect vision. However, you are required to have a certain standard to become an airline pilot, as you have to pass the requirements for a Class 1 medical. These standards can vary from country to country but here we'll stick to the DGCA India regulations. So, the minimum requirement for a class 1 Medical is 6/6 vision. Now you need to understand what is 6/6 vision.
