My original message about the eye relief of the Tasco glasses had nothing to do with focus. My "normal" glasses are 7x50 Fujinons that I believe have 21mm of eye relief. With those glasses I keep the eye cups folded down so that they will allow me to put the eye pieces directly on my eyeglasses without scratching either--yet I can see the entire field of view. The Tascos, with their shorter eye relief do not allow me to see the entire field of view and that is why I mentioned it was easier to just push the glasses up and put the binoculars directly to my eye. As Bill said--eye relief has nothing to do with focus.
