I have graduated lenses - Would I be best advised to order bifocals? And, how do you incorporate Cyl and Axis measurements?

Hi Todd, I did not see option to order bifocals so I can not comment. Best..

I do not know what 'cyl' and 'axis' measurements are, but, here is what we did:1. when ordering Speedo goggles, we got the +/- number, from our opthomologist.2. when ordering the ProMate snorkeling mask, we selected the the color and then selected the appropriate eye-adjustment (my son is nearsighted) from the "size" pull-down menu on the ProMate scuba options.3. My 13 year-old son loves the mask and was our family underwater photographer in Cozumel.

I have graduated lenses also; however, I just went with single vision lenses in my mask. Don't know about Cyl and Axis ... I didn't bother (even tho I have an astigmatism) and they worked great

I wear trifocals and the single lens correction worked just fine. I wasn't close enough to need the extra correction even when I was about 3 feet away.

I have bifocals too and they work fine for me. Haven't had a problem. They seem to fit over the lenses with enough room to spare. However, I think that would depend on the size or your prescription glasses. If they are larger in size, the goggles might cause the trouble you mentioned. Good luck. I bought 5 pairs of these.

Hardy,Thanks for the info about getting better lenses. I just "bit the bullet" and bought the 24-105mm L lens. I have heard this same wise advice from other photographers, and I am looking forward to getting sharper photos with the new lens, and I will try to get only L lenses from now on. In the end, you truly get what you pay for.

Start with lower magnification eyepiece(20mm). During the day practice on focusing on large objects. It's also the way to align the red dot finder. I bought this scope for my grandson . He loves it

A barlow is fine. I use the GSO Barlow that actually gives you two magnification choices...http://agenaastro.com/gso-1-25-2x-achromatic-barlow-lens.html

Hello, I would say the images for me are the same as I have the basic eyepieces and two sets of as you need two sets for the bino viewers but what I like is the eye relief that you get when looking through them and a almost 3d effect like you get when looking through binoculars. If you can afford it I would highly recomend it, not for just yourself but for other viewers as well. I have a Celestron 8SE and looking at Saturn, Jupiter, the moon, well its pretty awesome. My plan is to do astrophotography, if I was really into eyepieces I would go with the two inch and some nice Nagler eyepieces. Hope this helps, Good luck and dark skies.

Sorry, but I don't have an expert answer. Here's what I did. I simply measured, with a very accurate ruler the exact outside center cross distance on the lens. No matter if it measures in inches or metric, just Google the number for a conversion. Worked perfect for me on the first and subsequent orders.. The covers fit perfect, are very well made and I'm very happy to have this protection for all of my lenses. Hope this "grass-roots" method works for you. Bob D., Maine

basically, the same size as the reading lens in a pair of bifocals. you can trim them if necessary

Wish I could help you but I wear contacts. No problem there. I've used binoculars when I had glasses and I know they can be focused to match your vision. But....how will a picture come out? I would be worried about that, but in all honesty that's a little over my head. Good luck.

It depends on what you'd eyeglass prescription is. You should check with you Optomotridt and find out what your prescription is and then get the diopter closest to that.Rich Signorelli

Two easy ways to solve this issue: There is a company called Platina (they also sell on Amazon) that sells the Corrective lenses separately so you can go that route if you like but it is more money. Second option: determine which is your DOMINANT eye and buy a pair with that correction. 99% chance you will NEVER notice the difference since your dominant eye controls most of your "vision"

I currently have the 8 X 42 Nikon, and formerly owned a B & L Legacy, about 10 years ago, before the merger. It was a fine binocular at the time, could not comment on the quality control at present. I do know that the Aculon is excellent ergonomically, and the QC is very good.

My advice is to go to Nikon's website where there should be a lens compatible chart or do a Google search.

NO. 10x25 will work but wont work well, 10 is the magnification, 25 is the radius of incoming light, its very little, you need 10x30+ binoculars for wider field of view

have a look at there size chart,they have measurements in imperial and metric.measure both ends of your scope.

I agree with you, measure the Objective Lens and see if they have the size you need, no doubt they will work. Make sure to measure and convert inches to millimeters.

I'd contact Floxite. They sent me two lenses when I purchased my lamp. You could go to a hobby store and cut one out of material that they could match up.
