Default I have two pair

Two pair: each are 7 x 35. One has eye cups, one doesn't. I do wear glasses, progressive lenses.

The one with eye cups work... somewhat. They are ok at anchor or drifting in relatively smooth water, or at home.

Second pair has no eye cups, but does have an adjustment on the right lens that goes from "-3 to +3" . By adjusting the lens, I can use the binoculars without glasses. Work good while moving on the boat, but I have to take off the glasses and then put them back on again.

Neither one really meets my needs while under way. If I need to use the binoculars, I usually come off power.

What I do like is having them to look at the wildlife while out on the lake (leave it alone guys!!), like watching a loon chick from a safe distance, or searching the tree tops for eagles, etc.
