Ok, it has come the time for me to wear glasses, it's tough getting old, but it beats the alternative. I can see distance well, especially on a sunny day, but it's has become almost impossible to read the countdown timer on my watch and forget trying to see the sticker on the front beam with the flag designations. Not to mention the GPS. Anyway, being a "water" family, I came across these prescription sunglasses in my daughters' surf magazine. They look pretty good to me - made to be worn surfing. It's the end of the year, and I have money left on my pre-tax medical - use or lose. So, I'm going to give these a try. Check them out.
I think the prescription glasses that BARZ offers is the way I'm going to go OR the prescription swimming goggles. I hadn't thought of using the end of year Section 125 money (use it or lose it) I'm embarassed to say. I wondered when you guys starting discussing the residue problem with the salt water if something like RAINEX would work? Seems to keep my windshield very clear in the winter salty roads of New England.
At any rate, I'm comitted to not letting a fear of losing glasses or the discomfort of not being able to see to be the thing that puts my son off sailing. The only question is which option he will find the least objectionable. Which will he wear.
Thanks for all your advice....
Greg
