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.

It's how they set the curve on the front of the lens or something. I
know ONCE they cut them in the "normal" way and I couldn't see for
beans! I went back in with my old ones and they copied the style and
grumbled about opticians who get people hooked on the flat ones (must be
more work to cut). I always found the featherweights to have chromatic
distortion that drove me crazy. I'm a bit on the picky side :-).
