[OzEclipse (Joe Cali)]

There seems to be some misunderstanding of my post.

I wasn't trying to claim that it's a new idea and I haven't applied for a patent. Yes TV make the correctors for their eyepieces. But these are made to fit the rubber eyeguard groove after the eyeguard is removed. Not everybody with astigmatism has a set of TV eyepieces or wants to go out and buy them. The TV dioptrix might serendipitously fit the rubber eyeguard of some other brands but no guide to this is available.

I see posts from time to time mentioning problems with astigmatism, eyepieces with insufficient eye relief for glasses for astigmatism sufferers etc.

So I was just letting astigmatism sufferers with non-TV eyepieces know that there is a way to make a corrector for any eyepiece via your regular optometrist. The lens profiling machines shape the OD of the lens by tracing the frames or any other template or for an eyepiece, by tracing a lens mounting you provide.

If you go down this path, do spend the extra $ on anti reflection coatings for the lenses.

Cheers
