With its claimed 14mm eye relief, is this bino horrible for use while wearing eyeglasses?

Actually the claimed eye relief is 17.5, which I find just about totally adequate for my use with glasses. So long as I take care and don't let them move around on my lenses, I can see the full field of view, which I haven't come close to seeing with any other optics in my life.

I wear glasses and have no problem with eye relief. I like the twist activated eyecup adjustment: when not actively using the binocs I keep them elevated to protect the ocular lenses. I don't believe in lens caps.

the eye relief is good. you should be able to look through it with out glasses. It s good spotting scope for the price. I bought the camera adaptor for my Canon EOS for it. I like it.

Try it and if not return it . I have one and works with several types of binoculars with a thread.

yeah, maybe. My monocular will focus as close as 20 feet (give or take) so the short answer is: it will work. However, for extended viewing periods, like at a concert, I consider a pair of small binoculars to be vastly (as in vastly) superior. Binocs offer less eye fatigue, easier to hold steady (because you use both hands) and better resolution using both eyes. The monocular is great for hiking where you simply want to see something up-close for a minute or two. If I was going to a concert, I would take my binoculars and leave this at home.

I remove my glasses when I use these binoculars. I tried looking thru them with my glasses on...it clearly reduces the FOV because you cannot get your eyes as close to the lenses as you can without glasses on. I suspect that would be the same issue you would find with any binoculars.

I have a fairly strong prescription and I can take my glasses off and use them. I just use the focus knob and I can see well. We use them for bird watching. I've never been able to use binoculars with my glasses on.

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.

R. G., What did you decide? I am very near-sighted and use ours quite a bit at home in the morning and evening when I don't have my contacts in. They aren't close to perfect, but they're passable, and I do use them. Biggest complaint so far is that they don't seem to be designed for cleaning between the two lenses for each eye -- the two lenses fit very closely together -- plenty of room for micro stuff to get between them, near to impossible to clean between the lenses.

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.

I can tell you it really works VERY LITTLE if any. You get the fisheye view at best. You might have better luck then me with it? I do wear glasses to read.

Wouldn't suggest it. Headphone pressure is pretty tight. Would be painful for eyeglass wearers. Would suggest getting pc gaming headphones which are more comfortable for eyeglass wearers

I use them at my computer since it is somewhere between the "distance" and the "reading" of my bifocals, but I don't think they would work in your case. Try maybe some magnifiers that you can wear on top of your glassesHead Wearing Magnifier Can Be Used Hands Free And Worn Over Glasses. Has Dual Magnifying Power.Also, tool suppliers provide such magnifiers for close work like you describe.

To be honest, mine Works really nice even at 125X. About clarity in my opinin at 100x is the average. Please just learn how to use them porperly. Ive had very good moments with my binoculars for around 2 years.

I don't know of any binoculars that are comfortable with eyeglasses. I take mine off when using binoculars. If you hold the binoculars to your glasses, you reduce your field of view to a peephole. You don't need glasses as the binoculars can be adjusted for clear focus.

Eye relief is unlimited due to being 1x. Even at indirect view. As long as the dot is on targetUse mine at about 8 inches.

The lenses if my binoculars are clear. If the fog is such that it affects the clarity of what you are viewing, that would not be normal. Sounds like some damage to me...

I use this magnifier almost daily. At first I tried to use them wearing my glasses but I couldn't get used to my field of vision. Everything seemed to be wavy and it was disorienting. I don't have any problem using them without my glasses though. My vision seems normal..only magnified.
