I’m long sighted, but even my distant vision is noticeably less sharp than it used to be - the curse of ageing and I guess it’ll only get worse. wasn't working on very small items (requiring best optical quality with the longest working distance for the magnification) - for which the only choice must be a surgeons' magnifier. The timeless elegant design hides and protects what’s inside: precise mechanisms and the finest optics.

Very good quality for the money and SO MUCH better than the fiddly rubber fold-down eyecups you often get. Ultra compact and lightweight, these pocket sized binoculars are the perfect travel companion and for for those wishing to travel light. And that's exactly crap with the NL, long-sighted glasses are bent forward in the middle and therefore almost inevitably come into contact with the sleeve or the eyepiece glass, I have to turn the caps up slightly and then it works, but the field of view is reduced. With our binocular magnifiers you can keep both hands free because these magnifying spectacles are worn just like normal glasses. he only needed a low magnification, the lowest matched his reading glasses so he now uses these for reading (the light helps greatly).They are handy to have at professional sporting events in which a spectator may be far away from the action.

If you take an 8×32 pair of binoculars for example the 8x part of the number is how much what you see is magnified by.

Focus is internal instead of external, allowing the user to shift the lens inside its casing to sharpen the focus. This matters because I have an all-round interest in nature so, while birding is the biggest priority, I’ll also watch insects too. The Hilkinson Natureline ED range of binoculars features high quality ED glass and a lightweight polycarbonate body, offering amazing image clarity.I have a pair that has the reading panel RX, intentionally set lower than typical, and the rest of the lens is distance vision.

It depends on the eye relief of the binocular, the prescription for the observer and individual facial features. Full size binoculars are best for somebody who wants the best possible image and isn’t worried too much about size and weight.A compact binocular magnifier very neat in its carrying case, suitable for reading, crafts, or for simple engineering work.
