Lucy 156

In spite of the strong cylinders in the lenses, Lucy enjoyed

fair eyesight through the Schubert glasses. The axis of both

cylinders differs almost 90 degrees. Lucy has a straightforward

prescription without cylinders. Each eye on its own would see

a massive blur but the combined images work much better.

I first experimented with this during the first photo shoot with

Marleen, a highly acclaimed model from my first weblog. She

had a prescription with very strong cylinders with horizontal

(close to 90 degrees) axis. My collection hosted only three pairs

close to her prescription but several glasses with a major Rx

difference between left and right gave her fairly good eyesight.

The same principle, the other way round, is used here with the

Schubert glasses.
