Then, your right eye looking through the camera will see the view clearly, and the left eye will be blurry (some assumptions here on right/left prescriptions). With both eyes open, your brain will select the clear right eye view, but your left eye will still provide sufficient 'situational awareness'. The fact that the 0.85 view is close to 1 makes this work well. It's not so easy with 0.72, nor .58 I imagine. Works for me.
