AFter 24 years of flying, the perfect vision finally failed me. My last FAA physical included "Must wear corrective lenses".
Since I'm anticipating starting with SWA in July, my question is to those who wear glasses while flying SWA 737's. Being very ignorant to this glasses thing, I apologize if this sound stupid, but is there a prefered style/frame that works best with SWA head gear? Also, will I need the prescription sunglasses as well? Someone mention my polarized sunglasses wouldn't work in a 737 cockpit. (Something about the windscreen). Then again, with my latest physical, I'm sure the FAA wouldn't approve of me wearing my Maui Jims without a prescription. Never had to worry about sunglasses in my military days....came with the helmet. Being new to this civilian flying, any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
