Albert - nice to see a parochial aircrew of optical health and support there. I'm sure our men and women in any other Trade or Branch would not be able to claim the same benefits you have highlighted for your own.
Or would we not gain from better safety (not just flight safety) and better eye health overall? Nobody else suffers the trauma of deployments like you do. Someone pass me the specially modified blinkered violin - I feel a maudlin tune coming on.
