Nickie 010

"Do you notice any difference with what you see through your own glasses?"

"Yes, there is a difference. Everything seemed a bit elongated at first. But now it feels relaxed and quite natural. Does that that make any sense to you?"

"Absolutely. Did you ever hold your own glasses at some distance in front of you? I mean, with another pair on your nose"

"Yes, I did that a few times after putting in my contact lenses"

"And did you ever move the glasses into a vertical position and then back to horizontal?"

"Yes, and it was funny. Everything changed. It made people look fat or very skinny"

"Like in a distorting mirror?"

"Exactly"

"Your eyes are used to look through distorting lenses. There is no distortion now except that these lenses are a touch stronger"

"Yes, everything looks a bit smaller and further away. What is the prescription of these glasses?"

"They are minus eight, both lenses"

"There is nothing scary about this experiment. I would not mind trying on another pair with this prescription"

"Sure, that can be arranged. But it's best to switch back to your own glasses first. Don't switch too fast. Take say ten seconds without glasses"

The lady followed the instructions and to her delight, she saw everything perfectly through her own glasses.

"I'm back. You were right about the safe return guarantee. By the way, my name is Nickie"

"My name is Lord Lentilux. But you can call me Rob"
