I've got -2.75 & -1.75 eyes. Should I round up or down to the nearest diopter? For each eye. 2.5 or 3 for the 2.75 eye & 1.5 or 2 for the 1.75 eye?

Because of the difference I would suggest buying 1 pair in each of the diopters you need and swapping out the lenses. For me the difference was only 1 point so I went up a half. They've worked out great.

Two easy ways to solve this issue: There is a company called Platina (they also sell on Amazon) that sells the Corrective lenses separately so you can go that route if you like but it is more money. Second option: determine which is your DOMINANT eye and buy a pair with that correction. 99% chance you will NEVER notice the difference since your dominant eye controls most of your "vision"

So you have the option to have a different strength for each eye? I did not when getting swim goggles and went with something in the middle, so in your case, either 2 or 2.5. I have one eye too strong, one not enough, but that does not seem to be a problem.

Depends on what your prescription is. The camera has a built in -3.0 to +1.0 diopter adjustment. You want to buy the one that will allow you to match your prescription.E.g. If you wear +2 prescription, get the +2 and dial it down by 1. You would only need the - if you have to go further than the -3 that is built in. However, I have found that I do not use the diopter. When I have my glasses off, the images on the LCD are blurry. So I shoot with my glasses or contacts, so I can still view the images on the LCD.Hope this helps you decide.Chris

What I was told with 3.5X loupes is the focal distance should be at least 24-36". I must admit, I was "off" until I finally got myself to hold my head away from the patient at least that distance. Otherwise, everything is blurry. I'm also trying the 2.5x loupes now.

Good question. The cardboard packaging says 2.5 and 6x. Looking through it and just guessing, I'd say 1.5 and 3x. The magnification is not very strong.

Michael, Not sure exactly how much 1.2 is, but the adjustment is fairly large on the right eyepiece both + and - As a test .. I set the right eyepiece at max (-) and used my reading glasses 1.75's in the eyepiece to bring the field back to normal focus, ie left in focus, right at max - and the 1.75's on the right bring them both back to even focus. They are great binoculars and they perform very well for the weight and compact size. Hope the info helps.

I'd like to know, too. My two are quite different. One seems clearly to be at 5, and the other at 6.25.

A 3 or 5x might be a bit much for that scope. A smaller 1.5 or 2x would be a better fit. All a Barlow does is increase your magnification. A 2x would double the magnification of whatever eye piece you use. Rule of thumb for maximum useable mag is 50 times the aperture. The aperture of the 127 is 5 inches. So the highest useable mag would be around 250x and that would be with perfect viewing conditions.

Contact Splaqua. I have a smaller deviation in my correction , and in this situation it is suggested to go with the lower number. I know that Splaqua, and probably others, will help with getting the proper correction for each eye in circumstances that call for it.

Hi Anthony, The correct magnifications are 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x and 3x. The magnifications in the current video needs to be updated. We sincerely apologize for any confusion.

This is the measure between each eyepiece and your eyes while you view a full image. This spec is particularly important to people who wear eyeglasses. With glasses , you'll need 11 mm or more of eye relief. Most manufacturers recommend that people who wear glasses roll down the rubber eyepiece collars for viewing. On the 10x25's that will be 18 mm. ( On 8x 25 it would be 10 mm. )

2 at the same time or go see an optometrist and have a pair made with this type of lens. These glasses are helpful but not by that much.

The pulp adjustment number doesn't need to be exact. It's more of an art than an exact science. I haven't noticed a major difference between using 1 or 2 for fruit. You will notice a difference between 5 and 2.

NO. 10x25 will work but wont work well, 10 is the magnification, 25 is the radius of incoming light, its very little, you need 10x30+ binoculars for wider field of view

I think -4.0 and -4 are the same. If you are near-sighted, you should choose negative.

There are three lenses which can be stacked for greater magnification. Using the first lens only it's about 8-8.5 inches. Add the second lens and that drops to about 4 - 4.5 inches. Add the circular lens (for the right eye only) and it drops to about 3/4 - 1 inch. Hope this helps.
