Binoculars for glasses wearers

Our verdictIf you wear glasses, choose long eye relief and twist-down eyecups before anything else.

Glasses hold your eye further from the eyepiece, so binoculars with short eye relief show a narrow, tunnel-like view. The fix is simple: choose a model with long eye relief and eyecups that twist fully down.

When you try a pair, look at the edge of the image with your glasses on. If you see a black ring or have to press your glasses against the eyepiece, the eye relief is too short for you.
