 Matt,
 
 Thanks for the input.  This is very helpfull.  As a professional in the
field, do you have any recommendations as to the various technologies and
brands available for the multifocal variety of contacts?  Are there any
special considerations for a pilot versus the general public?
 
 Thanks again,
 
 Tom
