Dear John,

May I suggest using a +2.25 diopter lens from a pair of reading glasses
(found at most any pharmacy).  Try to find a pair with large enough lens to
be able to cover both your Nishika's 1&2 lens with just one lens from the
reading glasses (removed from frame).  In this way, you'll not be spending
much money or trouble, and can determine if you are pleased with the results.
 There is an article on this very same thing in a back issue of StereoWorld,
but I don't remember which.
