Wow, this is a timely thread. I've been struggling all summer with new glasses as I finally switched to blended bifocals from swapping with "reading glasses" for close work. I've had some difficulties getting used to them so I've been flying slower planes all season as the comfort level just wasn't there yet. Not being happy with the results so far, I consulted for a second opinion and was told that I have a cataract in one eye. I'm very nervous about any type of surgury on my eyes and will be consulting with yet another doctor to hopefully raise the comfort level somewhat. They had told me that the surgury would replace my lense, but they are reccomending that I go with a blended lens as well to fully correct both near and far vision without glasses. When I explained that I really don't mind wearing glasses for close work and I'd rather concentrate on getting good distance correction they thought I was nuts. I guess they don't understand the importance of "toy airplanes".

Opinions from those that have gone thru this before would be greatly appreciated. Like Roy (Kometfreak) I need to get something done before next season.

Thanks!

Bob
