i wear reading glasses and want to use this in a indoor range. What about eye strain and indoor use? Would you buy this again or another brand?

I wear bifocals and also use this indoors and outdoors, and find it to be quite a good scope out to 200 yards for 22 caliber and up. Anything farther this isn't what you would want.

I have not used this scope indoors, but I have been pleased with it for outdoor use, with and without the glasses I wear.

Have not used the scope indoors. For me it works great outdoors and I do wear a bifocal lens.

I also wear reading glasses & use at indoor& outdoor ranges. Very good scope for the money. I have been satisfied.

This is A heavy scope with a less than perfect center go gravity. I am using an alpena plastic with a fairly wide footprint. It's barely enough. It's plastic. it wiggles a lot when you focus or zoom. Do you own this scope now? Are thinking stars or on the ground. I would not recommend ultima 80 for astronomy. Blue shift issues. Works fine on the ground.

My wife uses the light for reading (she has early stage Macular degeneration). She thinks the light should be fine for your application. The gooseneck is capable of a fairly wide range of vertical positions although it is a bit stiff (probably good) and the base is nice and heavy so that the light is stable in all positions. The quality if high and it assembles easily and quickly. I hope that helps you decide.Ed Getchell

I don't know. If I were you, I'd take something to my local Walgreens or other store with a glasses display and see how different prescriptions work on something like what you'll be using. These readers are very good for me, but I have presbyopia (aging eyes). I do know when something is too small or printed in gray rather than black ink I put on a second pair of glasses (just for a minute) and can usually read it.

I use them with and without glasses, depending on the brightness and distance I'm viewing and my personal preference at that time. The eye pieces are retractable to accommodate glasses and still retain a full field of view. Since my prescription is not very strong and only for distance, I can usually make up the difference using the focus and skip the glasses so I can easily look at a guide book, but I think they are perfectly comfortable for when I leave my glasses on.

Can't help you with that, Mary Sue. I rely on how it works, not where it comes from. It works reasonably well but I found that if you use it and then are working indoors the eye redness can return. If you use it and go outside and stay outside for long time it works well.

It is not so bright that it hurts MY eyes. I usually use it on low for reading at night but have turned it on high and have NOT been negatively effected by it. :)

I am currently using it on the top of my desk. It definitely helps to not have to strain your neck. I currently have it on the second setting, and it works out fine for eye level.

i haven't personally tested this scope outdoors, i have used it in indoor ranges. but so long as you have it sighted properly, i don't see why not.

I find the glasses PERFECT for doing just that. I wear them over my reading glasses. I wear them sitting on the sofa too, while I'm crocheting. When sitting up the are a little heavy on the bridge of the nose, so I put a cotton ball under them and they sit great. They aren't adjustable/customizable for an individual face, so they do take a little getting use to. I love them!!

Not really. This light is for outdoor activities, and quite powerful, too. This is too bright even with the light diffusing lens up and too wide-beam for indoor use. In fact, I think you'll hurt your eyes trying to read with this. Buy one of those single-LED small reading lights, preferably with a clip to snap it to your book or table and a flexible arm to position it comfortably.

I wish I had used this more, but my recollection is just the smaller loupe. No, I would not find it suitable for a 91 year with eye degeneration. I think it may be better to spend a little more money (if possible) to find something more comfortable & easier for reading. I bought this to use to look at antique beads, and even that I found difficult! Wish I could be more help, Lynne

I got the anti-glare for reading outdoors. But i also have a problem in meeting rooms with overhead lighting (I take note on the iPad). If you use your iPad in either of these scenarios, I would recommend the anti-glare.

Yes. I actually have to wear my prescription glasses and a pair of readers over those. The magnifiers go down no problem. However, be careful you don't forget when you raise the magnifiers and look down, even though they are tightened down, sometimes after a lot of use they can get loose and fall down and hit your glasses... can be painful. My advice is to wear the magnifiers where the band sits higher on your forehead and take them off if you go a period of time not using them. Otherwise this item works absolutely great!

I just bought one and it does well with the basic Kindle e-reader. I clipped it on and it held secure. The neck easily adjusts to avoid glare. I wanted to try this route as opposed to getting a Paperwhite Kindle. I am a new user of e-books and wasn't sure if I would read enough in dim light to justify the additional cost of a more expensive model. I bought my light at Bed, Bath and Beyond for 9.99 and the clerk said that they sell a lot and there haven't been any returns or complaints. I am just wondering about how frequently the AAA batteries would have to be replaced. I am waiting for an answer about this aspect. I just bought one and it does well with the basic Kindle e-reader.

I use it for work, for online meetings, which can sometimes run for hours. I also use them in training sessions, which can last hours. I wear glasses and haven't had any issue with them.

I wear glasses, and while it does take some adjustment, it works out fine for me. I found the best results by raising the temples of my glasses a bit so that the arms of the Bluez rest just under them. It shouldn't affect your vision nor the conduction of sound. It will take a bit of playing around. I really enjoy mine.
