Varifocals

Went to the (large) expense of having RB Aviators reglazed with my varifocal prescription with graduated tint. Wonderful for everything except the final roundout and height judgement for flare when I lose the input that I suppose is the peripheral general awareness info. The same happens with my normal none tinted varifocals. A bit critical for a Chipmunk flyer when forward field is obscured during the flare. Now modified Downwind checks to include "Specs Off" but it's amazing how frequently I forget - ready made excuse for a bounce on landing!
