Progressive lenses
Risking a slight thread creep, has anyone tried lens replacement surgery? I have used bi-focal and later varifocal spectacles fairly successfully over the last 30 years, from the time I noticed problems in reading letdown plates in low light in the Sim. I am long-sighted and now working up-close doing maintenance on my pre-war Stinson I need a separate pair of high-correction glasses and I find that very frustrating. If these new replacement lenses work as claimed this could be a permanent solution. I reckon I will already have spent at least £3000 on spectacles over the years, so for a younger pilot it sounds a sensible option. I will certainly consider it.Does anyone know of a downside- apart from cost?
