So he had some prescription polarised lenses made, and IMO they were unusable. They put uneven stains and colours across my field of view. The opto compared them to several other prescription polarised sunnies nearby, they all had what looked like stress marks... purplish tinted areas that became very obvious when crossed against another polarised lens. It seemed obvious to me that any glasses for flying should be optically uniform. The opto didn't agree and kept saying "you'll adjust to it". Just what the old brain doesn't need, one more thing to do while looking out! I didn't like the idea enough to fly with them... now I have the same thing with tint but without polarisation - no problem. Jason's answer of adding polarised clip-ons to prescription glasses sounds like a plan. -- Pete Siddall various GC _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
