<DIV>Glad it worked out, Ron. Excellent sight is so important in this hobby and I'm paranoid about mine. I was part of that small minority that had terrible reactions to lasik surgery and had double vision for a while. Once tried to fly the "plane in front" but it was too difficult and I nearly crashed. I'm OK now but am more paranoid about my vision than most.</DIV>

One was distinct and dark black, the remainder were fuzzy and <BR>> gray. When I did the same with my right eye, I saw two dots. One was <BR>> distinct and dark black, the other was fuzzy and gray. When I opened <BR>> both eyes, I saw three dots. One was distinct and dark black, the <BR>> other two were fuzzy and gray. When I looked at a white center pole at <BR>> the flying field, I saw a distinct, white pole and two fuzzy white <BR>> poles on either side. My airplanes had fuzzy wings. Cataract surgery <BR>> cured all that. <BR>> <BR>> Ron Van Putte <BR>> <BR>> ================================================= <BR>> To access the email archives for this list, go to <BR>> http://lists.f3a.us/pipermail/nsrca-discussion/ <BR>> To be removed from this list, go to http://www.nsrca.org/discussionA.htm <BR>> and follow the instructions. <BR>> <BR>> List members email returned for mailbox full will be removed from the list. <BR>> </BLOCKQUOTE></body></html>
