G'morning Herman, 

 MM> Mine have arrived and are requiring the head to learn new tricks

 HT> It sounds like you have progressive lenses, and for the first time!

I do, but not for the first time...

What has happened is that my new eye works well on long distances 
without lenses,  and even adapted to the old lens reasonably over 
the period my foveal odema took to clear away.

The new lens needed the eye to reverse adaption, and was hampered 
by high expectations.  Initial use was a matter of frustration, 
and with a day or two's practice that seems to have gone as new 
eye and lens got used to each other...

Incidentally,  these lenses are large by request (5cm or more 
wide) but there's still a significant gap at the periphery. Recent 
experimentation shows I depend when driving or playing ball on the 
information coming through this unglassed gap...

Indeed,  I think I reported earlier that, with the cataract and 
the later infection cutting off foveal vision, I was delighted to 
determine that the right eye still contributed much with its 
peripheral vision.

Especially fascinating was the discovery that under either 
handicap, autostereograms still worked for me... an interesting 
insight into the capabilities of awareness or consciousness 
itself..
