For me that is the eye cups resting lightly on my glasses (glass lenses). I haven't noticed any scratching on the lenses from doing that. It's a compromise I have to live with.There is no way I could wear contact lenses - ugh!  Even the thought of it makes me squirm.Thanks goodness most binoculars today offer sufficient eye relief. Though I do agree with Binastro's point that a range of extra wide angle (~80° AFov) bins should also be designed by manufacturers with lesser eye relief, purely for those customers (around half the market) that don't wear glasses. With the ubiquity of all sort of mobile screens and their use by all ages from toddlers on though, that could be a shrinking market, as myopia is on the rise worldwide ......  :cat:Chosun   :gh:</blockquote>
