Good advice, Jack.

I'm very lucky. In my 59th year and still 20/20 (or nearly so) and only use a 1.25 set of reading glasses. And don't need those on some days.

But I ALWAYS wear shooting glasses, so I still experience the eye relief problem with binos and spotting scopes. Besides the ocular distance that Jack mentioned, you'll also get a wider field of view if the rear lens (the ocular) is larger in diameter.

The common misconception is that a large front (objective) lens gives a wider field of view, but the diameter of the front lens has nothing to do with field of view. The rear one does.
