What do
you guys with prescription sun glasses do when on an approach you transition
from above a cloud deck, in blinding sunlight, to IMC and then have to look
for an airport in the gloomy, misty, foggy grey world below?
Although there are many things I don't like about clip-ons, they do transition
quickly from shade to no shade.
Chris,
Sometimes I just close my eyes.
Other times, I switch to my Rifleman OK Corral yellow tint shooting glasses
(increased contrast in haze, really).
If I had more money, I would use a synthetic vision system where the push
of a button can take off the virtual sunglasses.
Nah, sunglasses work best in daylight - at night, I use my regular reading
bi-focals to keep an eye on the traffic alert system.
