Default Can\'t see through binocs

Yep, I'm practically blind as a bat looking through binocs. :depressed:

The problem is that one of my eyes "sees" somewhat lower than the other and at an angle. My glasses have a correction for the lower part but not the angle so I do okay for normal stuff. The only time I run into trouble is in low light conditions (night driving) where the eyes aren't getting enough light info to resolve the two images. I can still see fine, it's just harder on my eyes.

So I can't see through binocs. Or is it just the binocs I've been looking through? With monoculars I seem to be able to see just fine. I haven't tried any of the high end binocs. Maybe they would work better. I just wanted to check in here before I go shopping. I want to get something I can see well with so I can spy on the hot boats on the Willy to see what they're getting all them springers on. :grin:

I would suggest trying the bino's that have the larger/largest lens on the eyeball-end (forgot the term for that lens-ocular?). They should really help. Budget bino's don't have it.

I'd try better binos. I have crummy eyes and trouble seeing through binos because of the difference between the eyes. I have a pair of Steiner military style binos that I got through Sierra Trading Post that are awesome. Maybe you should come pull anchor for me some day and try them out. :smile:
