No: You can get a pilot's license if your corrected visual acuity is 20/20 in each eye.

It depends: Refractive error limits for pilots vary by branch of service and probably also by country. In the us air force, a small amount of refractive error is permissible as long as the vision is correctable to 20/20 in each eye. For specifics, visit the medical standards website for your desired branch of service and career field.
