Hi all,
I'd like some advice if you are able to help.
Seems I've reached a point where I need glasses for more than just reading.
I've had 2 pairs of prescription glasses made up. One pair for reading and mid distance (arms length), the other are sunglasses. The intention of the sunglasses was for driving and flying.
The first problem I've discovered is the lense is polarized, this is after I explained that polarized glasses won't work with an iPad. Not a problem that can be fixed with new lenses.
In the short time of using these glasses I'm having trouble finding a clear focal point in the mid range and everything appears bent. The optometrist says to give it time and it'll correct itself. So far I've only used them for driving and this is the first time I've used multi focals. So my question is can you give me your experience with prescription sunglasses and flying and what type of tint you use.

Looking forward to your help.
