This blog is dedicated to ladies in glasses. The vast majority of the portraits on this blog feature ladies wearing glasses near their own Rx. I felt that this would give a more natural flavour to the pictures and also a more natural setting for the photo shoots from which the pictures on this blog are selected. Nearly all the glasses featured in this blog are from my own collection.

Osi 238
My first date with my partner Nel on June 14th, 2008 took place on a rainy evening. We met in front of an Irish pub and and after an hour it was time for a change so we headed for a second pub. Nel stopped, took off her glasses and cleaned them, saying "I have bad eyesight". She held her tiny Zenka glasses only a few inches from her eyes during the cleaning process. I simply said, "You have lovely eyes and the glasses really suit you well". After our relation was well established, I often saw her when she was adding make-up, her nose almost pressed to the mirror. This seemed not very practical so when the first anniversary of our relation was near, I selected these make-up glasses from my collection and brought them to Nel's optician. The lady checked the prescription of her client and I ordered the proper lenses for close work. Nel was surprised when she opened the present and she started using the make-up glasses. But it's hard to change the routine of a lifetime and after a another year she gave me the make-up glasses back so that they could be used in my photo shoots. Rachel (150), Farishta (581) and Jolien (120) posed in them. The make-up glasses traveled with me to Ireland and Osi was keen to give them a try. The lenses are around minus nine. Here Osi is showing the considerable difference in size (circa 20%) between her "naked" left eye and her right eye behind the lens of the glasses. Note the second image of her left eye in the tilted lens. Nice!
