Hi:
As the advancing years creep up ever more quickly, I wonder if anyone out there has succesfully solved the short-sightedness/long-sightedness problem?
I'm short sighted (myopia) and normally wear contact lenses, including while flying. I wear sunnies as required, which is usually
.
I'm beginning to notice, however, that close work is getting tricky due to long-sightedness with advancing years (presbyopia).
Normally if I have a bunch of close work to do in moderate light I use reading glasses - sound familiar to anyone!? The little plackards etc on the roof the helicopter are particularly bad - close and in relatively dim light. It wonm't be long before map reading gets tricky...
So what to do when flying?
- Get some sunglasses that have a "reading" segment at the bottom?
- Stop wearing contacts and switch to bi-focal sunglasses?
- Stop wearing sunglasses?
- Wear reading glasses under the sunglasses?
- Get someone younger to read the small stuff?
You tell me!!!!
Thanks in advance,
JFDI
