How can you PROVE it was NVGs? Heck the 4949s now are 20/20 so the VA would look at you with a huge RCA dog look...
Meh, I flew several hundred hours of night TA with the 6's and my eyesight stayed at 20/12 until my early 40's...
IR473 (IIRC) was a beast: a little over 2 hours of TA on NVGs. That was a little rough...
