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.

Sohaila 099
Seen "en face", the advantage of Lentilux over traditional myodisc glasses is immediately clear. There are no visible power rings and there is no "cut in" effect. The first owner of these Flair glasses was a lady with an already high myopia (minus eleven) during the 1970's. High myopia tends to be progressive and her next glasses were a nameless pair, fitted with the new blended myodiscs. In the late 1980's (at Rx - 13) she switched to blue Silhouette glasses, fitted with the latest invention, high index lenses. These lenses are thin but the problem of power rings and "cut in" effect was back. Besides, peripheral vision was not great either. So after yet another increase in the early 1990's, she bought these beautiful Flair glasses with blended myodisc (Lentilux) lenses, Rx -14. Sohaila shows the glasses almost the way their first owner must have seen herself in the mirror. Only the changed balance between eyes and lips gives away that these are quit strong glasses indeed.
