Lucy 183

The right lens in these Silhouette glasses is four diopters

stronger than the left lens. I have the same Rx difference

between both eyes (L +2 / R -2) and buying new glasses

is always a time consuming affair for the optician of my

choice. My appoach has always been to order the right lens

in a Rx that gives me over 100% visus but the left lens has

to be slightly below the optimal Rx. This compensates the

major difference in size between both images. I feel more

balance. Opticians always fulfill my request to leave the shop

in a trial frame and check if the balance is to my satisfaction.

I wonder how the first owner of these Silhouette coped with

her problem. Judging by the wear and tear of the frame she

did not wear contact lenses. My guess is that the difference

in size of objects seen through her glasses was less than in my

glasses, so she was in a better position.
