Bought this for my wife and she has a problem seeing through the eyepiece while wearing her glasses. Are there any attachments which will help?

This is a very complicated answer. I defer to this link.http://www.astroadventures.net/cohen/articles/Wear%20or%20Not%20to%20Wear%20Glasses.pdfWhether you wear glasses or not, each lens that you use requires that your eye be placed at an optimum distance from the lens. Wearing glasses prohibits one from getting one's eye close enough to enjoy the full field of view with some lenses but not others. The preferred method is to NOT wear glasses and each person must adjust the focus for the best clarity. If your wife has an astigmatism, you can switch to higher eye relief lens while wearing glasses or purchase Televue Dioptrx Astigmatism-Correcting Lenses while not wearing glasses. Have her optometrist make her a monocle. This is a very complicated answer.

Hi Robert, There are many many choices of eyepieces that have larger exit pupil and wider apparent fields of view that give more of a "window" like view rather than a "key hole" view. Celestron has their next line UP in quality called X Cell eyepieces in several differnt magnifications you may consider? We would love to earn your business!

It's best not to wear glasses while looking through a telescope, binoculars or a microscope. The focus is adjustable and glasses are not needed.

I didn't see any way to attach one, no threads or a way to take off the eyepiece.

I have the exactly same problem. Don't know where to buy the correct eyepiece.

There's an insert for 1.25" which can be removed for 2" eyepieces. Also, the telescope only comes with a couple of 1.25"...or at least that was the case when I purchased.

The receiver and transmitter are of similar size, about the size of a modern car ignition key that includes a car door lock/unlock transmitter. The receiver is too large to attach to eyeglasses, but could be attached to a glasses case. My wife is considering doing this since she lost her glasses twice in a week :-) but it would only work if the glasses are in the case.

RCE, Here is the link to address your answer, it will assist you in getting your eyepiece back together: http://www.celestron.com/support/knowledgebase?article=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.celestron.com%2Fc3%2Fsupport3%2Findex.php%3F_m%3Dknowledgebase%26_a%3Dviewarticle%26kbarticleid%3D2393%26group%3Diframe&title;=I+%E2%80%9Caccidentally%E2%80%9D+took+apart+my+Celestron+20+mm+erect+image+eyepiece.+How+do+I+put+it+back+together%3F

It has not happened for me. It screws into place, it is not just plugged in. I use a Blackrapid harness, and the eyepiece has gotten snagged on my phone holster, camera case, clothing etc. and it has not fallen off. That being said, excessive force in that direction would likely be detrimental to the eyepiece, but again, mine has been snagged multiple times, and I have had no issues whatsoever.

Yes. My wife and I share them and she doesn't wear glasses. I retract the eye pieces when I use them, she does not. With the eye pieces are retracted they are comfortable and work well. I can't see at all without my glasses. My wife finds them comfortable as well.

Actually, I normally wear trifocals. I use the monocular without my glasses, no problem. If I leave my glasses on I can't get my eye close enough to the eye piece.

I use them at my computer since it is somewhere between the "distance" and the "reading" of my bifocals, but I don't think they would work in your case. Try maybe some magnifiers that you can wear on top of your glassesHead Wearing Magnifier Can Be Used Hands Free And Worn Over Glasses. Has Dual Magnifying Power.Also, tool suppliers provide such magnifiers for close work like you describe.

Hi, I said I would check the use of the MaxTV glasses with my 4.25 Diopter contact lenses removed.I did, the focus adjustment did NOT go quite far enough to give a sharp focus. It was very close,but not quite there. If you used a two diopter, I don't think you would have a problem, even a 3 diopter would probably work. So for what it's worth. Ang, again, they work as I wanted them to.

I, too, am a woman with a pretty small face, but I can fold the two lenses down toward each other and it works for me. If you fold them too far, the lenses black out. I hope you can make it work because I really like these binoculars.

I don't think thats an option. I have tried to wear my prescription Oakley glasses under mine. It works but it's just too much of a hassle to try to keep them both lined up right.

The lens reflector in the ophthalmoloscope might be bent downwards. Try sticking in a toothpick and jiggling it around. It's quite irritating actually. You might want to contact the vendor for a replacement if all else fails.

Try and buy one from Amazon that has a magnifier built in to the bottom half, they work great and are available in many optic strengths, the glasses are to close to your face, though at work we have glasses which do fit over regular glasses, hope this helps you, have a great and safe day.

My husband wears glasses and he is the one who uses the mpow. He says it doesn't really interfere with his glasses.

Amazon sells spectacles that function like binoculars. You might be able find a pair that will focus to 3' away but be careful. I ordered a pair of really cheap one and the field of view was too small to be useful. I threw them away. They make much, much better ones that cost much, much more. The issue is can you find a pair that will satisfy your needs at price you can afford.
