If you where eyeglasses and have difficulty using binoculars, you aren’t alone. But you can buy binoculars that will make your viewing far less awkward, particularly if you enjoy such outdoor activities as bird watching. Many people simply take their glasses on and off, however this could result in an unsafe situation should they get lost. If you are short-sighted or far-sighted, this can simply be accounted for by adjusting the focus until it is clear for you, so you could potentially skip using your glasses all together. However, if you have astigmatism, then you will have to keep your glasses on while looking through the binocular or you will risk an unclear image. Since we buy binoculars to see more clearly, it hardly seems like a good idea to put up with blurry viewing.
Another option for many people is to wear contact lenses. However there are drawbacks to this, including the fact that contacts require blinking to keep the eye moist. Since most users do not blink when looking through a pair of binoculars, the image can become cloudy as the lens dries. Also, not all people with astigmatism can use contact lenses.
If you must keep your glasses on while you use your binoculars, how can you ensure that you will have an enjoyable experience? The best thing for eyeglass wearers to look for in binoculars is a long eye relief, typically between fourteen and seventeen millimeters. This long eye relief increases the field that can be seen in the binoculars, which is important for eyeglass wearers since the glasses physically keep the eyes too far back to see the full field of vision, and eyeglass wearers can lose as much as fifty percent. Also, when using binoculars with eyeglasses, don’t forget to fold the rubber eye cups down, which will also assist with vision.
