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 113
The same portrait as 112, first overall softened, then put into soft focus with a smaller (clear) central field than in portrait 111. Again, this may be very near to what the first owner of these blended myodisc glasses saw in reality. One can easily imagine her visit to the optician who made these revolutionary glasses for her. The first look in the mirror - wow.... no more extreme "cut in" effect at the sides. Then looking in the mirror from a slightly different angle, seeing all the weird image distortions. Finally, standing up (no doubt, with an empty wallet) and trying to cope with the narrow field of view and the peripheral ghost images. My first sighting of a lady in blended myodisc glasses was in Kufstein, Austria, in 1988. She did not look shy or visually impaired at all, proving that the adaptation process can be successful.
