On rare occasions I've had a contact pop out. Because of that I do

something you may want to practice with an instructor or another
pilot on board, but have you tried to fly with the glasses off? I
mean, just in case; I was somewhat surprised to find out that I can
land the thing if I have to (if I happen to loose both glasses)


Me personally, I'm -7.5 in both eyes, I can't even read the instruments,
must less see anything outside. Runway markings? Forget it.

Of course, I've never lost a contact, ever, so I'm pretty blase about it.
Runway MARKINGS? I don't think I could have found the runway, airport or
anything else!

Carry the glasses, they are better than nothing.
