Nostalgia 038 - 040 : Petra





Petra was one of the models who contacted me after reading a newspaper article about my up coming exhibition in Enschede in October, 2010. During the interview with the journalist, I mentioned that it would be great to do some photo shoots with high myopic models. When Petra and I first met to discuss the practical details of the photo shoot, she mentioned that she had just made an appointment for IOL implant surgery so it would be a nice idea to have a "farewell to glasses" photo shoot. Of all models who posed for me in the Flair glasses (Rx -14), Petra was the only model who could see quite well through the blended myodisc lenses. She knew about the existence of blended myodisc lenses as her optician once mentioned them as an option. Petra was really keen to give the blended myodisc glasses a try and she found it a fascinating experience. Note the characteristic "half moon" image in these portraits. The half moon effect is created by the transition zone between the central "bowl" and the surrounding carrier lens.
