Using Binoculars with Contac Lenses

Posted by i_dig_it (My Page) on

This may seem like a most unusual question but I'm hoping someone has had experience with this.

I currently have started needing glasses for reading, yep I'm over 40. It is really a hassle when out birding. Glasses off to look through bins. Back on when looking at the field guide, off again for another look, on again....you can see what I mean.
Sooo, I was considering contacs, but since my vision problem requires bifocal lenses, the doctor didn't even know how it would affect my vision when using binoculars.

Does anyone here wear bifocal contac lenses when out birding using binoculars? If so can you let me know if it works or not?

Thanks!
Janet

If you can successfully wear bi or multi-focal contacts (a few folks have trouble adjusting) you will have no problem wearing them while using binoculars.

Thank you Ned!
My appointment is coming up soon, so I guess I'll give them a try since I get a trial period with the contacts to see if I'll like them or not and I can see how it goes with the binoculars.
