Perhaps LASIK or some such is a more realistic possibility...

Speaking of four-eyes (me, too) one thing I prize in an optical device is 
a long eye-relief  I was 
thinking of asking my friend to machine off 2-3mm of the plastic from the 
eyepiece, sacrificing the ability to use an eyecup or the varimagni. Then 
it occurred that this idea was 1) stupid (in a general sense), 2) cost 
prohibitive, 3) would probably allow MORE light to enter through the 
eyepiece, and 4) complicated, since the eyepiece frame also houses the 
galvenometer and the circuit board. (10 years of postgraduate education 
allowed me to figure this out for myself.) But the urge is still there. I 
wonder if there's a clever optical device or correcting lens that could 
clip onto the eyepiece (or fit into an eyecup) to allow for longer eye 
relief. It would keep me from even thinking about disfiguring my OM-1.
