No way *I'm* landing a plane without corrective lenses.

I wear contact lenses, and, until recently, didn't carry my glasses.
Then, a few weeks ago at the beach, I got something in my eyes (sand?
sweaty sunscreen?) that stung so badly I took out my lenses and let my
wife drive home. That's never happened to me, in many years of wearing
contacts, but one time was enough.

I always carry glasses in my flight bag now.
