Default RE: Poor depth perception

I haven't had any problems landing yet, I just know that I am not seeing as clearly as I should at distance. On landing, several of the other club members thought I was in the powerlines at the far side of the field a couple of times, but I haven't hit them yet. The place where I have problems in landing are in a cross wind. I set up as S.R.A. described and a normal landing is no problem, but in a cross wind I find I have drifted almost off the runway before I realize that I am that far over and it is just a short hop over to the trees.

I have gotten some good info from Reesy on RR, as he is an optometrist, that I am going to review with my doctor and try to find something that will help before I have any problems. So far it is just an inconvenienceand not at all unsafe. As my eyes have changed very little in the last few years, it is not extremely urgent.
