What The Heck Is A Waterproof Monocular?

Sphere: Related Content
We've all heard of waterproof binoculars, but what about a waterproof monocular? Are they just waterproof binoculars for a Cyclops? Not really. A waterproof monocular is kind of like a telescope. But, instead of trying to focus on heavenly bodies in outer space, it focuses more on the heavenly bodies down here on earth. That's a joke, of course. I wouldn’t encourage playing peeping tom under any occasion when you know you could get caught.

What Are The Advantages?

A waterproof monocular is not for everybody, but for many people, they have several advantages over waterproof binoculars. First off, there is only one lens to pay for instead of two. In this way, even some makes of waterproof night vision monoculars can be far less expensive than a pair of waterproof binoculars. They also tend to be lighter and easier to carry.

In a lot of instances where you need to constantly refocus from far away to where you are now, the use of binoculars can be too disorientating. If you are hunting legally or hunting for illegal hunters, for example, you need to constantly be aware of what's around you as well as where your prey is. Other uses for a waterproof monocular include home or business surveillance, sports, fishing, snorkeling or running from folks who caught you spying on them as they were sunbathing in the nude.

Some people also have a visual problem that makes the use of binoculars not only difficult, but very painful. These people have a kind of vision problem called monocular vision, which means that they can only look out through one eye at a time, instead of through both eyes at once like the majority of people.

This writer has monocular vision. So, whenever I look through a pair of binoculars, I see two separate images. This strains my eyes and gives me a very painful migraine. But, with the use of a waterproof monocular, my eyes and head are less strained. I can then go through my various spying shenanigans without having to worry about triggering an optical migraine.

If you don’t have monocular vision, but have the boring old binocular vision, then you may need to shut one eye in order to not feel unbalanced when seeing two separate images at the same time. You can find a waterproof monocular in sporting goods stores, boating supplies, camping shops, some camera supply shops and their online equivalents.
