    Masten Gregory

    One of the greatest drivers with glasses was Masten Gregory, he also was a superb sportscar driver.

    Also don't forget (in their early days) Jacques Villeneuve and Paul Tracy, as well as a certain Monsieur Bourdais

    Larry Perkins, of course (not a hugely noted F1 driver, but still one I believe)

    Yep, he had a few appearances in the 70s, without much success

    interesting - the thing I didn't not like about JV was switching back and forth from contacts to glasses. I have done that and there is a difference in your vision when you do. Also with the current state of lasik I find it interesting that any driver ****s around with glasses anymore. And yes I have had lasik and it was one of the better decisions of my lifetime. Any yes there is a adjustment period after you have lasik - mine was a few months
