From: "Glenn Meadows" 

I've essentially been "Monovision" for years now, the best the
right eye can get with glasses is 20-200.  I've not had any accidents
driving, even able to do close solder work.  I'm going to hate to see how
I'll do getting stereo vision back, down the road. Will be a real shocker
I'll bet!!!!
