Are any of these Zeiss monoculars appropriate for someone who wears eyeglasses?

I have a Pentax 7x20 model which is optically very good for the price but, with 11mm of Eye Relief it really is not usable to me.

I really like the convenience of a Monocular because of the small size and lightweight. I also have very poor vision out of one eye so, most binoculars in mass market class are essentially monoculars to me.

It seems like these Zeiss monoculars are the only really good ones available in the ~$200 range. Are there other brands I should be aware of?

FWIW, I'm looking at the 6 power model.

Thanks!
Sid

It's strange that they do not give any eye relief info on their web site. The FL's pages (binoculars, of course) have that info. Therefore, I suspect that the monoculars still date from the period when design had priority and eye relief was not a seller. You might try sending them a e-mail, though.
