The question I always get. :-) I have a fairly strong correction (-7
and -8). My peripheral vision is terrible with glasses and since the
focal point (?) is slightly in front of my eyes, there's a fair amount
of distortion and depth perception problems. I can't remember exactly
why the distortion happens, but it does with glasses. I wear them
around the house, but can't even drive in them, especially at night.
Flying - at least landing - is out of the question with glasses.

Custom-designed glasses that correct these issues might be worth
investigating. I doubt if they'd cost any more than LASIK or the like. Depth
perception isn't necessary for flying. Peripheral vision is important but
since all peripheral vision is blurry by definition, all you need is a clear
view, not a sharp one. If you need to see something clearly, you turn your
head, with or without glasses.
