SR-2 diopter for those with bad eyesight?

[jeelz]

Hello,

As a sophomore, I recently gained access to the Arri SR-2 cameras at my school. Unfortunately, I can't really use them because my glasses don't allow me to apply enough pressure to the eyepiece to open up the light-gate, while the adjustable diopter is not strong enough to compensate for my crap eyes.

Does anyone know of where and for approximately how much I could expect to purchase an "extra-strength" diopter or some sort of diopter booster or anything that would allow me to use these cameras without my spectacles?

Thanks,
Giles

I dont know about the diopters but I suggest asking your parents for contact lenses with the ones now adays they dont feel like anything and they are farely cheap. No one really wears glasses anymore.

contacts aren't an option for me, because my eyes are far too sensitive to even tap water and saline solution.
