So? What is your point? I wear ONE only all the time while driving and
flying.

I think you are referring to people with dual correction, distance and
reading. Not to the one reading correction with no distance correction.
I have heard this before and there seems to be a bit of controversy about
it-even the med examiner can't state why. He seems to think it applies to
transport pilots, high above the runway (the FAA problem with it is only due
to one transport type incident upon landing) with instrument panels 4' + away
from the eyes. This pilot had both bi focal corrections.
I suggest you try it-if you can; I can't see ANY difference at all from
normal vision. But of course the FAA can say whatever they want.
