I got to thinking about this the other day. On another forum there is always chatter for high end binoculars. However it seems recommendations seem split about 50/50. Some say poor eyes or older eyes that aren't necessarily poor, but not as sharp as they were once, are not good enough anymore to be able to see benefits of high end stuff. Others seem to say that young, sharp eyes don't need the good stuff. That does not seem to leave much middle ground .
There is too much opinionated "gack" there to ask the question, the answers would go the same routes, the general question comes up often enough, even if it is not the specific topic of the thread.
I tend to think the better your eyes, the more use there is to be seen in high end optics. I also tend to think that any eyesight benefits from good glass, so maybe the answer is "all eyes". In all eyes there is some point where the question of ..."how much resolution can any human eye use?"..has to come in to play.
So for those who have some definite points, whether you are either simply optically inclined, or even optometrically inclined , or maybe both, which kind of eyesight benefits most from high end glass?
