Could prescription glasses affect your timing on landings? I'm a student pilot working on landings. I am mildly farsighted, so I don't have to wear glasses for distance, but it does reduce eye strain over time. So, sometimes I wear them sometimes not. I assume the answer here is just to decide, with or without, and stick with it at least till I get more comfortable with my timing.
When I put on my glasses the view gets a bit larger, so, that might make me feel like i'm closer to objects than I am. Also due to a slight astigmatism correction, the view also stretches a bit vertically which makes me feel like i'm higher above the road when driving a car.
Anyone else farsighted have any input on this. Maybe you notice something similar with/without your glasses on?
And before you say it, i know, 'stop trying to blame your crappy landings on your glasses!' Ha.
