Not a directly piloting question, but it certainly affects it.

My second class medical expires in December, so panic is starting to
set in.

I have bad eyes.

IIUC, you wear contacts? Why not use old-fashioned glasses?

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.

Has anyone you've consulted concidered contacts and glasses together?

One person I know has sever problems (details unkown) and the solution
was a set contacts and glasses for specific tasks.
