Airline Pilots With Glasses?

Glad to see I'm not the only one with terrible uncorrected vision.

I know you were only entertaining the idea of overseas work recently, but I did have a buddy denied a job working overseas for having LASIK done in the past. Be careful if you want to work over here, as not all medicals are the same...

Which company? That's one of the reasons why I have thus far chosen to not have the procedure.
 
Anybody wearing LED glasses like these?

I am hooked on em. They are a bit bright for a dual cockpit, but I love em.
 
They come in the standard various magnifications for reading. You can buy them at Walgreens, Rite Aid, WalMart, Amazon, Ebay....all over the place.

I seriously wear one of these LED head lamps when night flying in Cessna's with anemic instrument panel lighting. The red LED mode is awesome during flight to actually see stuff, and when night vision doesn't matter the white lights make for bright loading/unloading, tie down, hands free.

What the heck do you strap that thing on to?
 
Actually I just remembered, another CFI who uses my plane actually took one of those and wrapped it around the overhead light in the 150 too because the red lamp they put in those are complete garbage and provide no actual illumination of the panel. So, we use that one as a red flood light, and then I like to wear one on my head which shines where I look.
