I have an old and family cheap spotting scope. It worked fine until I got older and needed glasses. I now use ESS Crossbow shooting glasses with the prescription Insert (replaced tje nose piece and sits inside the safety lense. Since I have been using them I find tje eye relief for my spottong scope is too short.

I have surfing the web and found many spotting scopes that work with glasses, but this setup is a bit farther away from my eye than my normal glasses.

Does anyone here use a similar setup (Oakley M frame would be about identical)? I am trying to find a ~$1000-$1400 spotting scope that people know will work. Only thing I may be able to get behind is a Vrotex Biper at Cabelas but that is it. Would love a super high end one but I just do not have the money.

Thanks I'm advance for any help.
 
I was using the same ESS system for a while, but I was finding the glasses were bumping into the objectives even if they had adjustable eyepieces. So I started just moving the glasses up and out of the way when I had to look through spotting scopes or binos.

For what it's worth, I've switched to contacts and seems to have helped a bit, but I haven't looked through a lot of different glass this year due to the lockdown.

Thanks for the info.

Thing is my glasses are for reading (and seeing iron sights). If I were just using the SS for scoped rifles I would adjust both to go without my glasses. Problem is I have a new buffalo rifle that I want to use with vernier sights and I need the glasses for that. Also I would use tje SS at tje 50 meter range for pistol shooting as well if possible.
