Whew, glad I'm not alone! My cataract is also in my right eye and I have similar problems when flying. I can see it, I can see it...hey! Where did it go?! Haven't hit the insurance obstacle yet and hopefully I can get past it. Thanks for the Readers Digest version of the procedure. Sounds like I can handle that!

Paul,

Please ask your father the pro's and cons of having a plain (no correction) lense vs. a single correction or even a blended bifocal lense inserted, specifically how it can impact flying. One of the problems I had to overcome when I switched to blended bifocals was to find the "sweet spot" to look through while flying to keep things in focus. I found that I had to adjust my flying style dramatically by turning my body and keeping my head turned towards the plane at all times. If I don't things get out of focus quickly. I'd like to eliminate that as much as possible.

Mod's, sorry that this is a bit off topic, but as we all get older [&o] we're going to need this info. Or maybe get a couple of ophtalmologist's into jet flying.....

Thank you!

Bob
