It's ok Rich,
I have been giving this much attention and have visited an Optometrist. I got a prescrip for a pair of reading goggles that were matched to my eyes. I was told, based on what they saw, that they should be good for the work I do as well.
I tried these things but they gave me the willies. My left eye is not as strong as my right. I tried but i couldn't get used to the damn things, they made me very uncomfortable. I talked to the Opt that prescribed them...she checked me again and couldn't really offer me anything that made me comfortable. The only things Im comfortable in are the regular, off the shelf glasses, equal power in both sides.
Im trying to deal with this via the doc..perhaps I need a second opinion.
At this point i need to clarify my question as nobody really seems to get this point. I'm fearing that if I don't have the proper set of glasses, power wise, that folks with somewhat normal eyesight will be seeing some crap that i think is ok...mainly? sharpening issues...artifacts from retouching, junk in general introduced from digital crapping around on an image.
Sharpening, for me, needs to be subtle and convincing. I want to know that Im not oversharpening or undersharpening because of the glasses Im wearing, to one extreme or the other.
My visit to the OPT didn't yield anything but a literal headache and an uneasy, off balance feeling. If I wore them long enough it was torture. We tried some different combos on my second visit and things were not much better. I'm thinking that my brain has become extremely adept at compensating for the skewed eyeballs. Things out in the world away from my head look fine to me...computer and print viewing distance is different story.
Wow, I put out some bait and got an actual Optometrist. More thought on this, Richard, would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete
