Default How do you define eye relief these days?

I have two new Naglers, 7mm and 9mm. Is there anyone out there with
these two eyepieces who can see the entire field of view, right out to
the edges, all the way around, without plastering their eyeball right
against the eye lens? Do these eyepieces really have 0mm of eye relief?
Do the manufacturers of 80-degree eyepieces have a new definition of eye
relief? Thanks!

I have the Nagle 7 and 9mm, and I also can't see the entire field of
view, particularly through the 7mm, unless I'm almost touching the
lense. However, to me, the slight movement of the head needed to get the
entire view is not a big deal.


Moving the head enhances the feeling of looking through a "porthole." I
like it - but then it's all new to me, and I like everything; Maybe
it'll get old after awhile.
