Well Scott,

You may be "odd" but you are not alone.

Over the years a few of our racing customers have stepped up from the
Sedans to Formula cars and reported their vison drastically deteriorated
when cornering.  Turns out the Sedans can only corner at about 1g but
the Formula cars are 1.5g and up.  The only solution for these guys was
to wear their glasses inside their helmets.

I have not "heard" of any Pilots with the same issues, usually the
gravity vector is pointed through the bottom of the airplane, but
military and aerobatics guys regularly see negative g.  I would expect
them to have similar problems.  I think it must be an issue of
magnitude.
