Whitney 115



Glasses: called "Conny", mid 1960's
[L: -1.25 / R: -3.00; c-1.00 v]

The inventor handed the second pair of orange glasses to the actress.

"These frames were popular in 1966, just before frames started becoming larger. Be prepared for a slightly longer adaptation time. The left lens is a bit too weak and the right lens is a bit too strong"

The actress put the glasses on. It was visible that she was in a bit of a struggle.

"Each of these lenses now gives me good eyesight but the images don't blend very well".

"Ah, that's because of the strength difference. I have always had the same problem. Even worse. You can take the glasses off if it makes you uncomfortable".

"Tell me about the glasses if you can. Do they have an association with a girl from your school days just like the previous pair?"

"Yes. My first love had glasses that looked almost identical. The frame now, not the lenses".

"And when was this?"

"During the Love Summer of 1967. I was sixteen, almost seventeen".
