I think my eyes are farther apart than average. On any binoculars I ever used I tried to push the barrels apart a bit more.
Today I went to an optics store and tried everything they had on display. All binos seem to have the same maximum interpupillary distance.
Have you ever seen or heard of some "wider" binos?

You can't get a clear circle at any width?

I'm not joking here but do you have a problem getting eyeglasses that fit?
If not then likely you have an average head width.

Most sunglasses look spread or splayed on my face but I can open binos to fit.

Next thing you know is that you have peripheral vision in the 270° range and you will have morphed from predator to prey.:lol::lol:

I'm getting a circle if I strive to, but any movement brings dark crescents to the sides. :(
