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.
