Howdy I use contacts to fly. I also have prescription sunglasses, which I use on short flights, but prefer contacts. With contacts however, unless you are planning on wearing them every ay you want daily disposables - MUCH better for your eye health. When I started flying about 6 years ago I had to use lenses with no stigmatism correction, which although didn't effect flying, did effect map reading, or other close ups. But now they correct stigmatism as well !
