Over all it was sort of a hassle but I think they went the extra mile to make things right. They paid return shipping and got the next replacements to me in 3 days from them receiving the second pair back. It was almost 2 months getting them and then they were in worse collimation than the first pair. My Amazon ordered original purchased binos were out of collimation slightly and they replaced them, but the replacements were on backorder and my replacement fell through the cracks. They actually are sending me a pair free of charge because of all the hassle I've had with my original Bino purchase. You just have to initiate it through their tech support area of the website. I contacted Celestron and they do sell replacements for damaged eyepieces. I honestly hadn't thought about doing that. Thanks for the suggestion. (Certain older, vintage binoculars have plastic eyecups that unscrew from around the eyepiece lenses.)Īll you can do is experiment & see what works for you.Įdited by hallelujah, 02 February 2018 - 08:14 PM.įlipping them down helped significantly. Smaller binoculars only need one thick rubber O-ring around the eyepieces to keep eyeglass lenses safe from scratching. Usually it only takes two rubber O-rings per eyepiece & I'm in business. Since I wear eyeglasses, my next step is to put some oversized rubber O-rings around the eyepiece housings, to keep from scratching my eyeglass lenses. They are usually glued down lightly & can be pulled of with a little effort. When I want to get in closer to the eyepiece lenses I completely remove any fold down rubber eyecups. With my Orion 30x80 I only fold the rubber eyecups half of the way down. With my Barska 30x80 I have to fold the rubber eyecups all the way down. I get an acceptable view, while wearing my eyeglasses. With my 30x80mm binoculars it is just a matter of folding down the rubber eyecups until

You did not mention whether or not you have tried with the eyecups all the way down.
