Those were really CU glasses that focused only a few inches in front of his eyes. Ordered a similar pair. Glass used had to be made of special (refractive index) glass so they wouldn't be too heavy. So he ordered a similar pair with my eye prescription. They have worked out exceptionally well. No longer use a loupe to obtain critical focus, plus using both eyes only enhances my vision. My CU glasses are nothing like the close up (cheater) glasses that you purchase at a OCJSL for under $5.
