We have access to a young optometrist who just worked out a miracle set of lenses for my wife, who has had cataract surgery on both eyes, and, for the past 10 years, is troubled by double vision. Combining prisms and lens prescriptions is an art! I will see what he can do for me next week. Here is one other for your comments. It is about a 25% crop, because of distance and distractions. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/No+Way.jpg.html This was wide open. I would like to see if one stop down would increase sharpness.
