About Eye Glasses
 

Hi everybody.

I'm a bit leery about telling the enemy about this but here goes lol. How many out there are practically blind at the monitor without their glasses on? I'm guessing a lot! I bet lots of us have bifocals and have our chins stuck out half the time trying to see what the heck's going on. "Where is he....RAT TA TAT TAT..I'm dead." So I'll get to the point. How many of you have spent the money for a special pair of specks just for flying? I'm going to have to because it's getting bad.

Hahaha, I am pretty shortsighted anyway, but I like teasing the wife that she has to have reading glasses even though she's younger than me.
I need them soon though.

It's that Generational thing again, I bet a good proportion of us are over 40 and grew up with WW2 stories.

Exactly. Me included from Dad.

Its depressing isnt it.
I've been told by I've got to wear them all the time now. Just the other day my youngest child broke my glasses and they are off being repaired, so in the mean time I have to go without, I'm looking like I'm doing a mole impression while watching TV or using the PC.

Yep. I have an eye appointment on Thursday (routine check up) but this is the first order of business with the eye doc! I wear bifocals which work great for everything else -- reading, driving, etc. My wife works at a computer all day and has her "computer glasses" -- looks like I'm going the same route. TBH, it's not just CoD. I've been finding it harder of late doing email, spreadsheets, etc. on the PC, so spotting little dots a little quicker in the virtual skies may be a side benefit! LOL

Bloody cheaters, from now on you have to go to an optician that only test using 1940 equipment and produces authentic 1940's glasses ;)

I just went through this inevitable life's episode...I asked the doc for 20/15 vision, so you've been warned!:-P

After a cornea transplant I no longer need glasses , however I shall continue
using poor eyesight as an excuse for my dismal combat flying skills !

can't seem to see a big plane but dang sure see his little tracers :shock:

so advantages of glasses: better definition

advantage of naked eye: 3d perception

Sadly, I also moved on to bifocals a few years back. I always keep my perscription and get a cheap pair of reading glasses on line for using with a monitor.
