Hi

Just wondering what you guys thought. Need to get my CAA class 2 medical done soon and had an eye test a couple of weeks ago. Apparently I am now short sighted by 0.75 dioptres. I haven't got any glasses yet as apparently I am within CAA minimum requirements?
Something is just telling me its worth while getting glasses, even if I only wear them for flying, as in my opinion I am putting myself in a position where my eyes could potentially save my life and so it's best to have the best vision I could possibly have?
I notice a bit of blurring occasionally and its a bit frustrating when identifying aircraft nearby etc, but I don't know whether I'm being over the top wearing glasses if I don't actually 'need' them.

Just wondering what your opinions are?
