Binoculars are a parallel combination of two telescopes for viewing an erect image with both eyes. Because they are designed so that an image of the same size can be viewed with both eyes, Birders can observe objects more comfortably than with a single eye. Also, the perspective and three-dimensional effect of binoculars make viewing more enjoyable.

Binoculars are viewing tools that can magnify distant objects and bring them visually closer to us. In simple terms, they are two telescopes mounted side by side, one for each eye. A basic telescope has two magnifying glasses placed in line at a fixed distance. The front glass is the objective lens and the one near the eye is the eyepiece. As telescopes invert images, binoculars require a third element – an erecting prism to flip the image for us to enjoy a naturally magnified view of objects

Binoculars are what makes bird-watching pleasurable – so invest in the best that you can afford, they are sure to give you years of memorable moments!
