Since cataract surgery some years ago, I have had to wear bifocals because my intra-ocular lenses were set for longer-distance focusing. My eyes can't focus on items in the near field.
The question is: will I be able to see the reticle and compass in the binoculars if I get a set that includes these features? I will specifically be looking for marine binoculars. |

Yes, you will be able to the compass, The compass is set up in the second focal plane. You will do best when you do not wear your glasses while you use the binoculars.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

Thanks 3-tens. Does that also hold true for the ranging reticle?
BTW, your signature reminds me of a John Prine lyric, "It don't make much sense that common sense don't make no sense no more."

The tag line is from the song Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more by
Us two and him. It is a folk /gospel band from Marshall County. Tn.
