Binoculars for spectacle wearers.

[Man-o-woods]

Hello again.
Now then I’m a spectacle's wearer and have difficulty when using binoculars. I’m guessing I’m not the only person to have issues. I don’t get on too well with the fold back rubber bits and find it a faff taking my glasses off to use the the bins and then put them back on.
Are there binoculars out there specifically designed for spectacles wearers.
Thanks in advance.

Contact lenses ??

I would think most binoculars don't have folding bits nowadays?
Most have bits that rotate down to allow use with specs.

I swapped from glasses to contacts more than 30 years ago. Never looked back (pardon the pun).
Hardly ever wear glasses at all now. Maybe once or twice a year.

Is that a medical condition, or just how it felt to you?
Everybody's eyes feel "too dry" the first time they wear lenses, but stick with it and after a week of feeling like someone has thrown a handful of sand in your eyes you learn to make more tears.

You could be right. I’ve been trying to use an old pair that have the fold down system, I guess I should go have a look at some new modern ones

You have to get binos with a long eyereleave.

A kick in the proverbial does it for me?

I’ve never had a problem I have Leica geovids and glasses that push up to my forehead or down on my nose and don’t fall off

Just get hold of a nose hair and give it a good tug if it feels like your lenses are getting a bit dry.

Everyone seems to rave about lasering for the first 5 years or so after having it done, best thing ever they say, and then it seems to go downhill and they're either back to wearing glasses or paying for more treatment.
I really wanted to have mine lasered years ago, but glad now that I couldn't afford it so never did.
Contact lenses have given me 30 years (and counting) of glasses-free perfect vision.

Absolutely DO NOT do that. I had mine done, it ruined my low light vision and only lasted 8 years before I was back in glasses again. One of my biggest regrets

nah its a 4 or 5 year fix then back to glasses

I have a pair of Zeiss Conquest with the adjustable eye pieces. I use a couple of rubber O rings to keep them in the correct position.

the screw-in eye caps work really well with glasses, even big wrap-around sunglasses
If you ever come up to Bisley you can try my binos, spotting scope etc for yourself

Funny how they don't tell you that in all the adverts, glad I never went down that route.
