Variation on...... cataracts and flying pattern...new question

[Del K. Rykert]

Ken.
    Sharing my 5 cents..  The key is you have better vision with the old 
prescription at distance. They need to tweak your newer prescription to that 
long distance adjustment. I visit and ophthalmologist for my eye exams as I 
get a better correction everytime. I do explain the vision I need and expect 
at distance and my one eye they have corrected to 20/15 and the other to 
20/10. I have had mis ground lenses by some labs which are frustrating to 
get corrected but so far I strongly recommend ophthalmologists for checking 
and getting best eye checkup.
