I was going to let this pass, but Bob, Johnny, and Andy seemed to understand what I meant. Top level binoculars were nowhere in my thought process. As far as I could see, the Vortex Viper can be considered considerably more expensive than the Midas.
With all due respect, I fail to see where some viewers of top tier glass see what they think they are seeing. Nothing wrong with my eyes, but I sure don't see what some seem to think they see. Nothing the matter there, top level glass is top level.
Now for the ophthalmologist part. I go to one pretty regularly. Went in first for what turned out to be a small ocular retinal occlusion. It effects the lower portion of the vision in my right eye. I gives me zero issues behind binoculars, or for that matter life in general. The doctor said the bad part was there was nothing he could do for it. The good part however says that my 72 year old eyes are far healthier than most eyes half my age. They still dilate past 7mm. There is no macular degeneration, cataracts, floaters or anything else they normaly see in eyes of senior citizens. Blood flow through my eyes is superior. I can read easily two lines below the line at the low end of 20/20. The test was for the occlusion, and their schedule was too tight to take the time to see just what it was. He said it is a lot sharper than 20/20, and that eyes my age are almost never as sharp as mine. So I don't think poor eyesight on my part can be the root of any disagreements about views trhough various binoculars.
