And this is new how?
My ophthalmologist has been performing this for years.

If his Rx is the result of axial lenths-pt. will not experience aniseikonia. Usually aniseikonia happens if difference in Rx is the result of post-trauma or cataract Sx in one eye.

Unnecessary expensive, time-consuming vision therapy, anyone?

I think Mikli custom-made this replica for him.

Need adjustable croakies 20-30 at most. Anybody knows how and where to get some without "long term commitments".

"...My own example:
My first distance Rx was +1.00 sph. Result: 20/15 vision.
