I have "old" eyes and need a 1.5 magnification- are these goggles appropriate for my situation?

yes, they work fine for close "reading" type work like looking at your depth guage or camera settings

The goggles will give you extra fun to your vacation - my son had terrible vision and to young to use contacts, but this solution work perfectly!

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.

Yes, they work well for any type of viewing in that they are self-adjusting. No need to fiddle with a focusing dial. For people who wear glasses, they can be a little awkward, since they adjust to the viewer's corrected vision, and the rubber cups on mine that supposed to peel back for use with glasses won't stay back. For people who don't wear glasses they should work great.

Probably... I got them for my wife to watch birds. They are light to carry & bright to look through. She likes 'em. If you are new to binoculars, yes you will like 'em and they will serve you well. If you are familiar with full sized ones (i.e. boat anchors that require a mono/tripod to use - you will be disappointed. But for a general set of small, light and powerful - they are a good choice.

To increase the size you will need a stronger magnification lens. I suggest a 2x barlow lens. That will double size and magnification on what you are looking at. Just remember the eye piece is 1.25 inches so it limits the types that you can get.

yes they are. I wear trifocals and can see the numbers quite clearly without my glasses. My reading glasses are 200

Yes, somebody here said +.2 or something like that.It is minor but present; makes screen seem just a little bit bigger.You can get them as prescription lenses if you need more.

The 1mm or the 1.4 mm would work very well. If eyeglasses are your only concern you might be better served by the "Stanley" or "Delcast" sets

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.

Sort-of. I find them a bit small around the eyes, but still usable as an adult. The slightly too-small size is my only complaint about these otherwise excellent new brand of prescription goggles.

The eye relief is ~ 4 inches, depending on magnification. So what I believe you need is a long eye relief scope or a red dot. That will give you the proper eye relief. I hope that helps you sir.

I would consider these more along the line of medium. I currently have a Nikon Prostaff in 4-12 x 40 on a 700 in 7mm Rem Mag, and could probably install a 50 with no problem. Ocular height is very comforable and there is no need to crowd the eyepiece because the scope sits too far up or down. My stock is traditional walnut with a regular butt, not a Monte Carlo style stock.

If you wear reading glasses...the kind you purchase at the drug store, get the same magnification. If you don't need reading glasses get the 0.0.

Same company makes reading glasses as well. Just pick the 1.50 or 2.00 or whatever prescription is closest to what you currently use.

I found that they helped me see the small print in Turbo Tax. Since I was unable to zoom in the adjustable glasses went over my regular glasses and raised the print enough to get me through. I am 82 and will probably get my cateracts removed this year. I don't know your eye condition but these will work in a pinch. Hope this helps. dp

No they are the perfect size for a medium face. What I find is that I can't see quite as clearly as I can with my $$$$$ glasses.

I think so. we took them to Costa Rica and they were great. If you want greater magnification, I would get scope with a mount but that would be a bit too bulky on a cruise so these binocs are the best alternative I think.
