Default RE: Poor depth perception

I have been flying RC for several years and I know all of the normal tips that you guys have mentioned. That is why I have been able to make the runway and not wreck a plane yet. I have just noticed lately that my vision is not as sharp as it once was. It is nowhere near bad enough to need glasses for normal activities, but it might just help for what we do. My current polorized glasses that I have been using cause a distortion around the edges that makes orientation difficult. Since I obviously need to buy a new pair of sunglasses, I might as well get some with any corrections made to make my vision as good as possible. From what information I have gathered, I need to buy a pair that are corrected for 20/20 or better at distance and corrected for spatial localization. These should be polycarbonate with an anti-reflective coating and in a medium tint possibly in green.

I am planning to visit my optometrist soon to discuss it with him. I hope it works!
