I've got bad astigmatism in both eyes - which is why I like 4mm exit pupil binoculars like 10X40s and 15x70s, as they minimize it to some degree. I've got binoculars with long eye relief where I could wear eyeglasses while using them, but the field is always narrowed, so I don't like using them that way.
Curiously, with my 7mm exit pupil binoculars - the astigmatism is really annoying in some pairs like my 7X50 Fujinons and 10X70 Nikons, but doesn't bother me much in my older 7X50 Fuji Meibos or my 9x63 Orions.
I fixed my 10X70 Nikons by getting the optometrist to cut the old eyeglass lenses being replaced into circles, with a mark up the top of the cut lenses (one mark for right eye, two for left eye) to indicate orientation for my eyes. Then I stuck them onto the eyepieces of the 10X70s with Blutack. Worked well.
I forgot that my Vanguard Endeavour pair also doesn't have the standard tripod attachment.
