Adjust Eyecups & IPD

Enjoy comfortable viewing even if you wear eyeglasses. Simply twist the eyecups up or down to see the full field of view. Keep the eyecups fully extended if you aren’t wearing eyeglasses or sunglasses.

The IPD (interpupillary distance) is the distance between the centers of the left and right pupil. Your binocular also has an IPD. To see a single image free of shading, rotate your binocular until its IPD aligns with your eyes.

    4 Stars
    The eyepiece arrived with a cut/slit.
    The quality of viewing of objects through the binoculars is best I've ever seen, but the eye piece arrived with a slit that prohibits the adding of a connective cord. I thought for the price quality control should have caught the defect.
