Binoculars are either simple or complex, depending on how much you want to know.
The basic purpose of binoculars is to enhance your ability to view objects magnified from a distance.
Essentially there are 2 mirrored monoculars that work together to give you a better view than just a monocular or a telescope alone. The intent is to give you a field of vision that is more balanced than just looking through one eye alone. That is how we get depth perception!
Did you know that?
There are also all sorts of things to consider in the making of binoculars such as the optics and lenses and coatings and whether they are perma-focus or waterproof and so on.
These are some of the features considered in the bird binoculars reviewed at this site. In addition, the personal point of view of the people who actually USE the binoculars is perhaps THE most important factor to keep in mind. Binoculars are hands on.
