I find they work very well for me.  Unlike quite a lot of other binoculars I use them with the eyecups all the way down and that gives a comfortable view with no obvious loss of field of view.  I've read quite often (and have tried for myself when raising my glasses) that the eyecups are a bit uncomfortable for non-spectacle wearers as they're quite hard and dig into the eyebrows a bit.  That's not a problem for those wearing glasses though, as they just press against the spectacles.  In that respect, the Canons might be even better for those with glasses than those without.Other users may have a different experience but my own experience of using these with glasses is very positive, and indeed they work better for me than many other binoculars before you even get to the massive benefits of IS.</blockquote>
