Question for those who wear glasses

[charles p]

My Minox binocs have twist type eye cups for use with glasses but I always push my glasses up on my head and use the binocs with the eye cups out.  If I need to pick up a rifle, it doesn't matter whether I have my glasses on or pushed up.  I love the binocs.

If you enjoy your binocs while wearing glasses (bifocals), what type binocs do you use?  Does light creap in behind your glasses lens?  I've always found the best image quality without my glasses.

I've never found a pair of binos that I can use with my glasses on. I use a neck strap to hold my glasses while I look through my binos.

Same here. I'm nearsighted, minus 450- minus 525, and if I keep my glasses in place, not only do I get backlight, I can't focus the binocs.

[Cement Man]

Same with me.  No matter what binocs I have bought with eyecups and eye relief that are supposed to work with glasses, I always end up taking the glasses off to get a fuller, clearer view that I can maintain comfortably for a period of time.

I recently bought a pair of Leupold Yosemite 8X30's with twist-down eyecups just like Charles P's.  They're the first binos I've ever used that I can actually see through while wearing my glasses.  When looking through them, I have my index fingers on the top of the eyecups and resting against my forehead to keep the binos steady & focus with my ring fingers.  Not perfect, but it works.  I cant' quite see the full image, but what I do see is clear & sharp.

I am lucky on this as the magnification of the binoc's cures the near sightedness in my right eye. I have not left my glasses laying out there on the ground...Yet.

I got a good deal on a pair of Alpen 8x42 binocs a couple of years ago and these are the best ones I've used w/ glasses on, probably due to the longer eye relief and them being "wide angle".

[Dave in WV]

I have a B&L Discoverer 7x42 I use mostly with my glasses on. They work pretty well for me. If I'm going to do some more serious glassing I sometimes remove my glasses and twist the eye cups up for slightly more definition.

The Nikon Monarch's work great with glasses.

[ZRS-8x42]

A lower magnification binoculars has more generous eyerelief than its higher powered counterpart (8x vs 10x).  If the eyerelief is marginal, you may not get full field of view even with the eyecups twisted down, while wearing glasses.

I wear glasses ( bifocals ) and I've tried alot of different makes of bi-noc's ( cheap & expensive ) and the Nikon Monarch ATB work the best for me also. Mine are 8x42.

I have a set of Leupols Wind River Cascades in 10X30 and have beeb usinf them for years wearing my bifocal glasses. I can glass all day with these binocs. The key is the long eyerelief that these binocs have.

I haven't had any success with my binoculars when I wear glasses. But I like to take them off anyway.
