My pilot's licence requires me to carry a spare pair when flying too. I
routinely have a spare pair in the car and carry a pair (sometimes two)
in my coat, but, with my eyesight, I would need one of the spare pairs to
find the main pair if I dropped them.

The only other ppl I know, still has good vision in both eyes. Can you
continue to fly with a cataract on one eye like can do when driving?

I suspect the CAA would require a safety pilot to be aboard, but it is not
something I have needed to ask them about. By the time most people are
likely to be prone to cataracts, they will be on 12 or 6 monthly medicals
(which include a vision test) anyway.
