Hi Susan.
The eye surgeon didn't want to give me two different lens, short vision in one and long-distance in t'other. But I have a friend who has that, so I insisted.
My surgeon said that in 15% of cases the brain cannot handle two different lenses, and the patient becomes nauseous and disoriented.
I said I was willing to take the chance, because otherwise I'd still need glasses for the ones I didn't have, either reading glasses if I had long-distance lenses put in, or long distance glasses if the other way around.
My passion for wildlife photography was being impacted, because I could no longer see the birds at 30 paces or further. I also earn money from my photography, selling the images around the world.
After I explained all that, he agreed that for my particular lifestyle, two different lenses would be good.Sylvia is very active, with a wiry build, so keeping her off her injured foot is difficult.
The bird is a Rainbow bee-eater, and they live in burrows. In this image I managed to get it flying past its own burrow.
