I don't know if this issue has been beat to death in this particular forum, but I've started wearing eyeglasses, and my wife is blind with out 'em.

I'd like to purchase a bino eventually, but does anyone have any EPs to recommend with eyerelief sufficient for eyeglass wearers? Is it much of an issue with two EPs?

Gerald, I'd suggest that you try them before you buy. You may find it difficult to position your head perfectly so both eyes are effortlessly centered, without the benefit of "winged eyeguards" -- which don't work with eyeglasses.

If you have an alt-az goto SCT, it may not be an issue. Harder with other types of scopes/mounts.

My EPs: 30 Ultima, 18 and 12.5 Ortho. Also 10.5 and 7.4 TV Plossl which require that I take off my eyeglasses. Good luck,
