Others have mentioned the instructor as a possible issue. But I recall
how,
early in my training, I tried several different "view limiting devices"
before I found one (Foggles) that I disliked the least.

As much as I did enjoy the IR training, I never grew to like the foggles.
It was especially bad when I got a new pair of glasses that were smaller
in
the vertical dimension than my previous pair. The area blocked by the
foggles covered most of my corrected vision range.

Foggles, and in fact all the other vision limiting devices that you attach
yourself, are a pain in the butt. The only type of thing I found any good
was to have louvred screens in the aircraft which prevent the left-seat
driver from seeing out of his/her side of the windscreen and the side
windows, but which allow the resident of the right seat to see OK.
