Last year, I happened to change optometrists and it turns out the new doctor
is also a pilot. We got to discussing progressives and he asked me if had
problems with flares and touch downs. After I admitted I did, he attributed
it to the fact that at a stall angle I was actually viewing the runway with
the top edge of the reading portion of my glasses. So, he prescribed and
built a pilot's version of progressives with a very small portion for
reading things on your lap and panel. VOILA! Big improvement.

Cool! I'll have a new excuse for lousy landings!
