Hi DMcD,
thanks for the comments. However, as stated in the first sentence of
my original post, I already have bifocal sunglasses, and they work
very well. I am always acutely aware of the fact that should I lose
them, break them, drop them in the drink, etc. etc. I am up for an

You will fall of your chair when you learn how cheap glasses can be.
All you need is your prescription.

I absolutley agree with DMcD regards bifovcals and flying. Multifocals are
a dead loss with great reduction in peripheral acuity (not vision). I find

I use contacts to fly. I also have prescription sunglasses, which I use on

With contacts however, unless you are planning on wearing them every ay you
