RE: Eyeglasses
Ray, you're not alone. When we get on the far side of 60, eye problems become a real problem.
I'm 68 and still fly competition combat and visited my eye dr. this year asking for advice on depth perception. He fixed me up with a pair of brown lenses (I think #4 brown) and the improvement is remarkable. I won't fly without them now.
Peripheral vision is not a problem with me, but if it was, I would seek out another optho dr. and get another opinion. Some of these guys have lots of tricks up their sleeve.
