I fly with contacts and have had no problems at all with dry eyes. I was
concerned about it at first, but my contacts actually do better in the
dry-but-clean air in and over Hemet (CA) than in the smoggy Orange County
basin. This enables me to use regular aviation sunglasses... at least until
presbyopia sets in.

I just had to get glasses myself. The heartbreak of presbyopia.
I got progressives for general use and I've noticed that they work best
when
you are looking directly at something--ie glancing at something doesn't
give
good correction.

Your best distance correction might well be with contact lenses - no
distortion at all with them and peripheral vision is maximised (until
you start wearing shades!).

However you can get problems with dry eyes.
