Hi Bac,

Your lenses are too small and the section for far sight is too narrow. Get bigger lenses and ensure that at least 50% [top half] of the lens is prescribed for your far sight.

I wore new slightly smaller glasses half way through solo and found many differences, for example, my wheels would touch the runway when I “saw” that I was still 1 metre above the runway.

Went back to the optician and she compared the lenses [old vs. new], admitted her mistake and gave me new lenses.

I had explained to her that I was an “appy pilot” and needed a big field for far sight.

What about bifocal contact lenses or wearing a "reading" lens in one eye?

The other option might be to stick a small vidio cam and a flat plasma screen TV on the Tryke. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
