I wear glasses - is this monocular suitable, If yes/no can you recommend a monocular and suggested power (i.e 10-50, etc)

if you wear glasses as I do you are supposed to roll the rubber cups on the eyepiece down for viewing with glasses, Bushnell actually has a "twist-up" feature on most of their optics that makes it easier. The only down side is that repeated rolling down for glases and back up for someone without glasses will eventually lead to the rubber breaking and then they will only be suitable for those with glasses

At 10x you will see an apparent field of view of 40 degrees.At 25x, the maximum, you will see an apparent field of view of 50 degrees, which is the same as the Carson 7x18.At 10x, I can see the full 40 degrees with my glasses on.At 25x, I can only see 40 degrees of the 50. I can comfortably see the full 50 without my glasses on.

I am legally blind without my tri-focal glasses and I see everything sharp with this. Like any bi or monocular I take my glasses off and focus the piece. I even tried it near sundown and it worked fine. Of course you have those who say at the most powerful setting it is shaky. OF COURSE IT IS SHAKEY. You need to rest your hand or arm on any that goes up to x50. For the price and size you cannot beat this. My son and friends are getting some. My God, $14? Get one for each eye! :) Must I say any more?

The 10x36 has served me well in both concerts and while hiking. I wear glasses and appreciate the eye piece adjustment. If you're not sure and have the $$$ you could order both and return one. Amazon have a fabulous return policy. Good luck.

Hey jim, it's hard to say. I don't wear glasses. It may be a little uncomfortable. You would have to try it to see.

I don't wear glasses, but without them the scope is amazing. I have try different scopes and this o e is provably the best yoi can get. Specially when you make the relation cost/benefit.

I wear prescription glasses when using mine for weed whacking and it works fine. Good luck!

YES!!! I would recommend the lense especially to have that option of zooming when you may not be able to get closer. With a fixed range you have to zoom with your feet. Its a really well rounded lense. IMHO

As it has a variable power setting, it will really depend on at what range you intend to use it. The field of view on it's lower power is quite wide but natuaraly narrows as you zoom in. For mid power of about 5x or so, I would descibe the viewing agle as wide.

It appears that you must already know the answer. I have one and it is limited in it's vision spectrum. I find a simple small round mirror is better.

It's best not to wear glasses while looking through a telescope, binoculars or a microscope. The focus is adjustable and glasses are not needed.

It's not bad for the money, but if u want something mil spec it's no where close. But if you don't have the money to get gen 1+ or higher monocular it's worth it. Make sure you get a good IR light or filter on ur rig it'll make a world of difference.

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.

Yes they have stronger lens than those you posted above. You can also get a "shorty Barlow" lens that will double your seeing power

It surely would work but it would be a little big and heavy for theater usage. Also, with 10 power you would be looking at the whites of their eyes unless you are way back. These are really nice binoculars though.

I highly recommend this monocular, I think it would be a great tool for a safari trip but I don't think it would replace the safari grade binoculars because of their field of view.

Hi. Avoid this monocular. Bad resolution on the green display. The infrared has no visible effect on the image. As a whole this monocular sucks. I sold it at a loss to recover some of the expense

Yes! And I have 20/20 vision. (Nearly 50 years old and don't need glasses to to read either) I said all that to say this; Somehow these glasses enhance 3D experience when watching Blu ray 3D. Standard passive 3D glasses like LG for instance do not compare to these Oakleys. and I'm sure there are better ones out there... but I am completely satisfied with these Oakleys. Good luck!

Amazon sells spectacles that function like binoculars. You might be able find a pair that will focus to 3' away but be careful. I ordered a pair of really cheap one and the field of view was too small to be useful. I threw them away. They make much, much better ones that cost much, much more. The issue is can you find a pair that will satisfy your needs at price you can afford.
