[Leica] Viewfinder problem

[Sonny Carter]

Not new eyeballs, but when I had cataract surgery, I had my left eye done for distance and my right for reading, so most of the time I don't need glasses at all, since I shoot with my left eye, and viewfinders are set up for distance vision.  

Drastic solution, but it works great, similar to mono vision contacts.

To answer another question, the frame lines do not look sharp which again suggests that it is my eye sight which I know is gradually getting worse. I guess at some stage I will have to get a correction lens. The rangefinder window is sharp, probably better than the rest but a little hard to tell.
