And that points to another reason to do it -- I use one eye for reading, the other for distance. Did it for years with contacts, and the same after my cataract surgery. You simply can't do that with glasses.

The left eye was corrected for distance while the right eye was corrected for reading (-1.125 compared to -5.75). And yes, I have those glasses where the two lenses are rather different thickness.

I agree about quality of vision. Particularly in keratoconus and other corneal imperfections. Glasses don’t help in those cases. I’ve tried David’s work around on a few of my clients and it did work for most of them. Multifocals didn’t work for me, sadly.
