    (no magnification is allowed)

    What would a person do who needs prescription glasses? Put me there with ±0 glasses, and I’d be just a threat to the environment, because I had a hard time to know where I’m roughly pointing that thing…

      Prescription glasses are allowed - both competitors are wearing them. Those lens can correct for short sightedness, astigmatism etc, but they’re the exact same lens you find in eyeglasses. I used to wear these - I bought the shooting glasses off the shelf (or rather our club got them in bulk for us), then to get the lens made, I went to the exact same optical store where I got my prescription glasses made and basically told them to just order one lens for my right eye.

      What I meant by magnification was, you can’t put optics on it so it works like a 2x scope. So the lens can make stuff look less blurry but not make it look bigger.

      Eyeglasses vs binoculars.

      Eyeglasses unblur the world to those who need them, but there’s no magnification.

      Look through binoculars and things look a lot closer because of the magnification. But you can also make it look blurry if you turn the adjustment the wrong way.
