You guys with glasses have it easy. I wear leave in contacts, 30 days at a time, $50 per eye. With good management I stretch their use to 60 days usually.
When I go in I have to also take my spare set of glasses. I do one test with contacts in, one with them out, and then one wearing the glasses.
At -2.75 I can pretty well tell them what the result with be without either contacts or glasses in, what is the point of that test.
I could also just have borrowed a mates set of glasses for the test and then given them back and flown without them, so what is the desire to have to see them.
Once I have taken the contacts out, there goes $100 bucks down the drain on top of all the costs of the medical, as I can't put them back in unless I take solution etc to put them in at the doctors.
What a pain in the....
