Susan,

I appreciate your insights, for those of us with less than perfect
sight.  I've been trying to figure out a way to use my OM with Eyecup 1
and a correction lens.

AFAIK, the OM system only offered correction to -5 diopters.  I tried
stacking a -5 and a -2 (sigh).  This "worked", but the resulting stack
was too thick to allow the retainer to thread back on.  Do you know of a
place that can grind an extreme prescription (about -7.5), and can these
use glass that will be thin enough to actually fit into eyecup 1?

Or, should I give up and go LASIK?

Thanks!
