I land with glasses all the time. I'd find it hard to land without
them. It's probably worth practicing.

How strong are yours? Mine are strong enough that my vision is very
distorted with large lenses, so I have them cut pretty small...problem
then is that my peripheral vision is non-existent. We're talking
about -7.5 in both eyes....I even have trouble driving in them.

My vision was bad (20/400) but my lenses were ground very flat and that
seemed to help with the distorsion problem. It made it awful when the
tried to grind lenses in the standard way.


How do they grind them flat? I've found the distortion is slightly
better with the featherweight type lenses, but still not good enough
that I'd be willing to drive in them.

God bless toric contact lenses.
