Glasses for aviators
I am a doctor, a pilot and a HEMS doctor. I have been aware for some tiime that very few optometrists understand the specific visual aid requirements for aviators. I have struggled to find someone to dispense glasses for the specific demands of flying (VMC, IMC, night, reading, intermediate range - instruments). I have encouraged an optician family member to think about this and he is opening a specialist optical outlet for aviators at Coventry Airport in January/February. He has recruited an optometrist who will conduct an enhanced examination on a flight deck which will fine-tune any optical prescription for night, IMC etc.
