![]() I've been working on that elusive instrument rating for awhile now, but I still haven't come up with a very good solution for my view limiting device. I need to wear glasses for reading (charts), but otherwise I see just fine. I wear progressive lenses (for presbyopia) that vary from a diopter of 2.5 on the bottom to almost no correction on the top. Most "devices" only let you see out of the bottom of your glasses, which works for reading but then the panel is blurry. I have to remove the entire contraption if I want to see the "runway environment". I've tried foggles, and a "real" wraparound hood. The hood seems to work the best, but I get a "crushing" headache from wearing the headset, hood, and glasses. Maybe it's because it's an old style that clamps around you head! I've noticed some alternatives on the market including; Overcasters, Hoodwinks, and one called Viban. Have any of you had success with a particular type of hood? I would be very interested to hear your opinions, especially if you also wear progressive or bifocal lens glasses. Thanks! Steve Job |
