Ok, time for the ultimate photography accessory... contact lenses.
If anyone here is older than 45 or so, you know the problem I've got... the eyes don't focus as well as they used to. My distance vision is perfect - without correction. Up close, its a different story.
I had an eye exam today... my doctor recommend concentric bifocal contact lenses! This was a shocker... I'm used to constantantly putting on and taking off my glasses... I put them on to look at my camera's menus and LCD's, and remove them to look through the finder.
Aparenty the contact lenses have concentric rings of varying correction (kinda like a fresnel lens), and the brain sorts out the data that comes out the optic nerve -- the result is great clarity near to far... or so the sales pitch goes.
Anyone here have experience with this type of contact lens? How does your viewfinder look? Is manual focussing accurate? There are also progressisve bifocal contacts -- are they different from concentric from a photographer's point of view? So many questions.
