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 121
An extreme - but not really "over the top" - portrait of Sohaila posing in ultra heavy leopard glasses with traditional myodisc lenses, Rx -25. Note the double image of the model's eye make-up: tiny in the "bowl" and magnified in the carrier lens. A thumb rule is that each minus diopter makes the image of the eyes 2% smaller. If so, these glasses reduce the eyes to half their real size. The balance between eyes and lips is changed here in extremis. Still, this is a credible portrait because of Sohaila's marvelous posing, against all odds. Great!
