I am nearsighted. Will I be able to focus on the moon without my glasses? My wife is farsighted. Same question.

I am nearsighted myself, so I can see the moon either with or without my glasses by adjusting the focus. However, the way a hand shakes holding a monocular makes extended viewing difficult. One would need a tripod or a telescope to steady the image.

I am nearsighted too and yes, this monocular is quite good without glasses. Not only should you focus on the Moon you will find the Pleiades in Taurus, the Andromeda Galaxy, and the double cluster in Perseus outstanding objects to look at early in the morning. In another month, two at the latest, you can look for the Orion Nebula as it gets higher in the east. Day or night, this monocular is great when a telescope is too slow and cumbersome for the occasion.

Actually, I normally wear trifocals. I use the monocular without my glasses, no problem. If I leave my glasses on I can't get my eye close enough to the eye piece.

Yes, you will. The portion in the middle of the monocular where the groves are turns so you are able to adjust the focus. We use it mainly for looking out into the ocean at whales; also to look in the trees for squirrels and birds. Hope this helps with your decision.

I didn't have chance to go beyond the moon. Moon is perfect for this telescope. You can see all details. I'm living in the city its kinds of hard to see the stars because of the reflection of the city lights. I advice you to go whenever no lights and try.

It is focus-able to the viewer. I can't see clearly past 2 feet without my glasses. I see through this perfectly when I focus it. It's a tough little scope. I've been very happy with it. -DM

R all objects blurry when you look though the scopes eyepiece ? Or just the moon. ? Does it happen with all your eyepieces or just the one ?

I have not used my lense for sports yet but have gotten some really good pictures of the moon. Distance is really good. I shoot in manual mode.

They should be fine without glasses. My friends use mine and never have a problem. However, if you plan on being pretty active, you might want to purchase regular sized eye protection just to be sure.

Yes, but my wife prefers not to wear her glasses because she can focus without them.

It is a good question! I have just begun to use mine with glasses and have had a challenging time getting the focus right. BUT when I do get it right, wonderful!!! Just play with it until it suits you. (My grandkids have been known to borrow mine. 7 years old, so acute vision, utterly unlike mine!)

Not unless you get a higher magnification lens. But you'll be able to see the moon beautifully

There is a small round knob near the viewfinder which adjusts the focus on it. You should adjust it while wearing your glasses if you wear them while taking photos. If you wear bifocals, the focus may be trickier to adjust depending on where you are looking through your glasses.

I really don't know. These do not work for me since I wear glasses. I cannot get a good focus without my glasses, and when I wear the glasses, I can't get a good focus either. I really wish I would not have purchased these for myself. I gave them to my daughter who doesn't wear glasses and she says they are just OK. Hope this helps.

It's not bad. I need glasses for far-away and it hasn't given me a headache yet :). The soft rubber around the eyepiece helps.

This lense is pretty awesome! Unfortunately it is not able to take complete clear pictures of the moon. That was one of the main reasons I got this product. Looking through it with my eye I could see the moon crystal clear, on the iphone it was not.

Hi, I said I would check the use of the MaxTV glasses with my 4.25 Diopter contact lenses removed.I did, the focus adjustment did NOT go quite far enough to give a sharp focus. It was very close,but not quite there. If you used a two diopter, I don't think you would have a problem, even a 3 diopter would probably work. So for what it's worth. Ang, again, they work as I wanted them to.

I really can't help with this. I did take a picture of the moon with my "point and shoot" camera by just pointing it through the eyepiece and it was quite successful. I think it is possible to buy attachments that will allow one to attach a DSLR in place of the eyepiece and take pictures, but I have never tried that - would need some research.

Absolutely. I wear tri-focular lenses and only lose a small portion of the field of view. Slow panning is the thing you use when looking for game in the brush or trees and the field of vision is not noticeable.

No problem at all. This lens is a quality piece of glass. I took pictures of the moon hand held and they turned out great. On a tripod they would be even better. Hope this helps.
