She already has the weighted (toric) lenses. My AME is also an eye doctor,
that is why I go to him. I have had problems with a retinal tear, still have a second class medical. -- *H. Allen Smith* WACO - We are all here, because we are not all there.

My correction is so strong that it's difficult for me to drive with glasses, and don't ask me to land a plane with them. So far I've managed to hang onto my second class by sticking my finger in my eye and manually rotating the lens before the test. I'm worried my AME is going to start having issues with this. I'm not sure whether I understand your problem correctly, but just in case: I know there are contact lenses available, which can correct astigmatism. The trick is, they use some sort of built in tiny weight, which makes them rotate themselves to the correct orientation. all the best, Friedrich |
