BINOS for eye glasses

What works for some with glasses doesn't work for others. Type of glasses, how deep your eyes are, how the glasses sit on your face the internal construction of your eye ect.
I can get along with 15mm of ER with my glasses. Find something with 20mm ER. If that doesn't work for you, wear a high quality strap on your glasses and drop them when needed.
Even if you find something that works with your glasses, you get a better image without. Extended eye cups block out a lot of stray light that robs contrast from the image. Plus you can be steadier using your index fingers against your forehead as a stabilizer, something that is hard to do with most glasses.

Fumbling around with my glasses and binoculars cost me a big buck last year, lol. I'm getting to the point that I'm thinking about going for laser surgery.
Looked thru some vortex, Leica, bausch&laumb, Nikon, sig, and Leupold, went with the Leupold bx-4 10x50, looked the best with glasses on. Wish we had more options close to home, living in a rural community has its drawbacks. You really never get to see the real good stuff.
