Daphne 011

























When Daphne tried these Cobra glasses she said that
they gave her almost perfect eyesight. The left lens is
half a diopter above her own prescription and the right
lens is nearly a diopter too weak but the cylinders are
nearly perfect, both in strength and in the position of
the axis. I bought the Cobra glasses at the "Waterlooplein"
flea market in Amsterdam during the 1980's. The frame
material is optyl, a novelty used by Christian Dior when
they took the eyewear market by storm in the mid 1970's.
Cobra zoomed in behind Dior, using the optyl material but
they made a deliberate attempt to design glasses with a
different design. Great! These Cobra glasses were also
used in my photo shoots with Elena and Lettie (first weblog).
