How are these binoculars for people who wear eyeglasses?

Sorry, I don't wear eyeglasses ,but on a Recent Alaska cruise people in our group preferred my binoculars over others some of which wore eyeglasses.

I wear glasses and have used several pair of binos over the last few years while hunting. These are the best so far for keeping the glasses in place (and I have blended trifocals).

Same as any product like that it is a bit difficult if you have glasses, I took my glasses off and worked to get the view as best I could. Worked fine for the most part.

These are the first binoculars I have owned where I do not need to remove my glasses. I use them several times a week for birdwatching and always use them while wearing glasses.

Good question. I bought them for my wife who is an avid bird watcher and is also a little rough with handling delicate things. The optics are great and they are easy to use. Most important they have held up very well after a few months of use and banging about.

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.

Yes. I have wide set eyes, and have shared my binoculars with children. I can assure you these will adjust easily for a good range of eye widths.

They are an excellent binoc. I do have some problem with lost width due to wearing glasses but that's not a big deal.

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.

Probably... I got them for my wife to watch birds. They are light to carry & bright to look through. She likes 'em. If you are new to binoculars, yes you will like 'em and they will serve you well. If you are familiar with full sized ones (i.e. boat anchors that require a mono/tripod to use - you will be disappointed. But for a general set of small, light and powerful - they are a good choice.

They are for me. There are roll down rubber cups on the oculars that when folded down make use with glasses better, but not as good as without glasses. My solution has been to use a neck chain with my glasses. I just let them drop and hang around my neck while using the binoculars with my naked eyes.

They do fold down, which is a great feature if you wear glasses. I also, wondered if the eye cups could hold up to all the folding. After 6yrs, the eye cups are in perfect condition, with no cracks or sign of wear. I am an avid hunter, so I put my equipment through a lot, and these binoculars have stood the test of time!!!

These binoculars have a relatively small opening but the due have extending eye cups for those that don't wear glasses. For those that do, you leave the eye cups retracted and then you adjust the binoculars to your eye width. I have used them in the past with glasses before I had my Lasik surgery without a problem. The pair that I recently bought was a replacement pair for ones that I gave to someone that liked the ones that I had.

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 don't use contacts, but my adult children do, and they have no difficulty with using binoculars in general, or these Vanguards in particular. I find the Vanguards to be exceptionally user-friendly, both in terms of optical qualities and comfort.

They will focus fairly well, but will not do what I would consider 'zoom in' on an object. They acquire objects well, but if you are looking for real close up looks, then you will have to go with a 7x50 or even 10x50, and the additional cost associated with that, upwards of $500. As is, these are very nice compact binos that do a good job. I use them on the water and they pick out markers well and fit nicely in your jacket pocket

I have a a narrow ID, and the Vanguards work fine for me. In fact, they are the most comfortable binoculars I have ever owned, not only because they are comfortable around the bridge of my nose, but also due to their feel in the hand. The flattened areas where your thumbs are naturally positioned make a considerable difference in comfort, especially for instances of extended viewing. I also like the "open bridge" design where your fingers fit between the two hinges, instead of one big hinge with your fingers lapped over the hinge.

I think so, not too big like regular size binoculars. I think they would be strong enough for bird watching, thats my personal opinion!
