problem with binos

[adowns99]

i see 2 of everything. i tried adjusting the distance between my eyes, and no luck. anybody with some know how know what i can do to fix this? it's very aggrivating to get a nice pair and not be able to use them properly.

Does everyone who looks thru them see double, or is it just something to do with your eyes? If you look thru a different pair, do you see a single or double image?

[adowns99]

dunno, just got these in the mail from bigmoss. they look like great optics. if i close 1 eye, i can see great. crystal clear. open the other one, and see double.

[adowns99]

oh, and the old lady see's double also.

Does it have the adjustment in front of the eye? Typically its only in front of the right eye (or at least it has been on all of mine). You can turn it to adjust the power.

Look at an object and then turn the lense until it clears up. Id bet that is your problem. Just look for the adjustment right where your eyes go on the Binos....

[adowns99]

tried that too. not working. still see double.

[bigmoss]

Sounds like an eye dominance issue, many people have the same thing with scopes or binos. All I can tell you is those binos are A1 and I have 3 pairs just like them which is the only reason I sold them.

[adowns99]

i'm not doubting you sir, i just wondered if there is something i can do to fix it. thanks again.

[bigmoss]

Not that I know of other than adjusting the right optic to PLUS or MINUS, but sounds like eye dominance though.

What brand are they? power and some specifics

If you see double it's because one of the prisms is out of adjustment or the hinge between the occulars is bent.

That was my initial thought. Are they roof, or porro prisms?

[VermontHunter]

Chris they are Porro

Sounds, as if they took an awful bumpy postal ride... which happens alot with carriers these days.... Was it shipped with insurance ???

These things can take pretty much abuse. How was it packed for shipment? For that to happen they would have to have been shipped in a plain manilla envelope!
