Thanks for offering. The instruments seem slightly out of focus but distance
out to horizon is ok. Reading glasses help but not well. Transition is a
slight problem when going from horizon sight picture to instruments. Also, a
1.0 or 1.25 reader solves the problem with focus on instruments but I need a
1.5 or higher to set the altimeter or to read the compass card (and probably
the flight computer when I get to use it. Last week I took a lesson that
started just before sundown because the tower held us short for nearly 15
minutes. I wore 1.0 readers. Forty-five minutes later during civil
twilight, reading the instruments was difficult. Forget about reading my
checklist.

If you have a particular problem, why don't you mention it? Lots of us
have eye problems and have coped with them. We might be able to help
even if we don't know an eye doc in Westchester County.
