Daphne 005

Daphne has a prescription with rather strong cylinders

(-2.50 / -2.00) which often limits the options when choosing

glasses for a photo shoot. A good way to expand the options

is to use glasses with a considerable Rx difference between

the lenses. These "Gladys" glasses by Neostyle are a good

example. The left lens has the proper spherical strength but

only a weak cylinder while the right lens has a Rx equivalent

to the sum of the spherical and cylindrical strength. Each lens

on its own creates a blur but the brain is able to combine

both images into an overall result that comes close to the

proper prescription. The difference in strength between both

lenses is over two diopters. The "Gladys" glasses were also

used during my photo shoots with Clarine (first weblog) and

Karen who opened the present weblog. Here Daphne joins

their ranks and it's nice to see and compare the effects of the

glasses on the three models. The brown colour of the frame

blends well with the model's hair colour and the wall in the

background.
