Blended myodisc lenses were an invention of the early 1980's. The aim was to offer an aesthetic alternative for traditional myodisc lenses with their all too visible demarcation between the central "bowl" with the high prescription and its surrounding carrier lens. The newly invented lens type was called Lentilux in the German language, a term alluding to Varilux (a progressive bifocal lens with a transition zone instead of a visible demarcation line). The back side of the blended myodisc lens is beveled so that it folds back towards the edge. The result is a central very concave lens, surrounded by a convex part towards the edges. The glasses shown here to great effect by Emma are an excellent example of this intricate lens type. Taking pictures of models in blended myodisc glasses is precision work. I always intend to show the amazing distortions and phenomenal light effects that change with the slightest movement of the model's head. This time the job had to done at great speed because of the cold wind on our location. No time to check if the horizon was straight. The editing of this fine portrait included the use of a soft focus.
