<div dir="ltr">I've had a similar experience to Bob -- I have prescription progressive lenses and have several sets of lenses for my Oakley sunglasses that I use for bicycling in various conditions. They do NOT work well for pattern flying. On the recommendation of Jon Carter (D7 VP) I investigated the "Rudy Project" sunglasses with prescription inserts. I had the insert made with my distance prescription only and I have the polachromic red and golf green (both nice, high-contrast lens colors) and usually fly with the Red. I *love* them. The only hassle is having to switch glasses when I need to do something close up like mess with my radio, read my scores, or use my iDevices. It's worth it though!<div>

They were about $400 give or take, but made it well worth it. At that time my "normal" glasses were progressive no-line bifocals, and the in-between distance just didn't work for me with pattern. The distance Rx did, though.</div>
