Default A stupid question regarding binoculars.

Hello everyone.

I have been looking around many forums on google for technical
information on binoculars and couldn't find a better place with more
binocular related threads than this one.

I have a very pecular requirement. Maybe it doesnt exist in the world,
but there is no shame in asking, is it?

I want to know if there is such a thing as an 'eyeglass binocular', or
something similar to it. I mean a long distance vision concealed in a
spectacles look alike appearance. I hope you understand what i mean.

A bonocular lens in such a tiny space that one can wear them on the
eyes without anyone knowing that they are not spectacles but actually
binoculars.

Thanks a lot for your advice.
Regards,
Amer

I think two jeweler's loupes, one on each side of your head. Just have a
piece of glass in your hand and worryingly look up when you want to stare
out into the distance. You might have to have the lenses replaced but I
think that is the best way to go. I also think you might want to buy two 22
riflescopes. You could have two fiber optic links from a pair of eyeglasses
down past two fake hearing aids down through your jacket sleeves to the
scopes in your hands. You could then mutter things about "Pest Control" and
just wander up and down the beach - this is for use on a spring to summer
beach isn't it? - telling the men to pick up their trash and complimenting
the women on being neat. I would have "Abatement" stenciled on the back of
the jacket and maybe a large Glue trap with me. You wouldn't really need to
carry the weight of the trap, just the empty yellow cardboard box with a
picture of a surprised Rat would be enough in my opinion.

Did you see my helpful advice to you below concerning the best telescope for
the apartment complex?

You are right about there being no shame in asking.

I am just glad people are opening their minds to the world of optics. I
think that is what really counts for a lot in the long run.

Amazing. That is what he was talking about.

Not exactly invisible but that it exists...
