I took a more radical approach. I needed mild reading glasses beyond the age of 45 but then began to develop cataracts in my late 50s, so my sight was gradually getting worse. Surgery gave me two shiny plastic lenses for distance vision. I use reading glasses for looking inside the cockpit, in fact the same strength as the ones I needed nearly twenty years ago.

Thankfully, these days I don’t need to use NVGs.
