To fly for-hire, you'll need the commerical certificate and a
second-class medical. Only the ATP ticket requires the first-class, and
most airlines will want you to have the ATP before considering you
(although there are TONS of aviation jobs that only require a commercial
cert).

Yes, the only requirement is that your vision be correctable to 20/20.
Your medical certificate will indicate that you have to wear corrective
lenses while exercising its privileges.

Depends on what ocular condition you've got. Most types of
nearsightedness and farsightedness can be corrected fairly easily with
LASIK surgery, and the techniques for astigmatism correction are
improving, too.

I'm not sure how the FAA deals with people who have had these surgeries;
whether they require a SODA or not.

There's no specific height requirement, and almost anyone should be able
to fit just fine.

I think you are referring to the FAA 1st class medical requirements.
The OP was asking about the airline's requirements.

The first requirement you will need to meet is a 4 year college
degree.

No, the first thing would be to figure out what "version" is...

You'll need a much better command of the english language to be an
airline pilot. Even at 16...you should be there already.

You need to remember that they do not teach spelling and English at
school anymore! To a young person everything can be reduced to 3 letters
as in a text (SMS) message! What is capitalisation? A teacher can not
correct spelling and grammar, as it will spoil a child's creativity.

Well that is the end of my rant for today!

Almost correct. They do teach "inventive spelling".

There are other vision requirements. I had difficulty with the convergence
test (I took it first when I was 16, during a class II medical) where you're
asked to look at a scale and report where a pointer indicates (I believe
they call this exophorea or esophorea). I outgrew the condition, however,
and did get my 1 class and ATP.:)
