Actually, there *is* a limit to the possibilities. I have 20/800 vision
uncorrected and a slight astigmatism, too. In order to see an image clearly,
I must hold it so close to my face (about 4 inches), I see a double image if
I use both eyes. No way can I see stereo!

With glasses, I can sometimes parallel view and can usually view cross-eyed.
Still, I find viewing with a viewer much more comfortable.
