Ya OKC I have the same experience. I am extremely nearsighted. When I was in first grade they figured they figured it out. All of a sudden I could see all the little airplanes flying over. When I went to get my 3rd class medical I had to get a letter of demonstrated ability from my instructor. About 10 years ago I was diagnosed with glaucoma and I had some cataracts. So my eye dr did cataract surgery to help treat the glaucoma and replaced my lenses. Before the surgery my focal range was about 4", now it is about rams length. So now I don't use my glasses to use the computer. To day I was sandblasting the engine mount for my Cub I was wearing the googles with out the glasses and the googles are much more effective with out the glasses. When I was a kid I would get lost in a swimming pool I couldn't see good enough to navigate. What was strange I could see under water.
