Hmmm, I know exactly what you mean. Getting old is such a PITA. I'm older than you and I have to winch at night - on goggles! So, distance on eyeballs is fine, need reading glasses for the dash at night - thats 18" away, but my issue is with then winching on NVG's. That adds a third element, a hover reference at 30 / 40 ft or whatever. If I keep the glasses on under the googles, I can see the dash, but not the hover reference in focus, if I take the glasses off I can hover like a champ but have a blurry dash - which is not good. I don't have an answer, I chop and change depending on how hard the night hover is..I've become good at looking under the googles, through the glasses and hover out of focus! Like I said, getting old is such a PITA, you youngsters, you'll see, it's only a matter of time.
