I kind of was to. How bad are these new A5 glasses though?

I go in March and will need some sort of glasses. I'll be sure to pass on if these have been phased in by then or not, I don't expect it though.

Better than the BCG, but not a lot

I think they are a slight improvement over the old ones.

they aren't too much better, but glasses are glasses, after BC its back to contacts! and hopefully some of that complementary eye surgery!

We can wear contacts after boot?! I was always under the impression the only glasses were authorized when on duty.
