A lot of people wonder if they can use opera glasses. It does not matter if you wear glasses or you can not see very well, you can use opera glasses if you wish. They will not hurt your vision as long as you are not walking around looking through them all the time.

Their magnification capability was a (very impressive for the time) x3.

You may not want to bring binoculars to catch all the action of a performance on stage so Opera Glasses would be the next best thing. Opera houses built many years ago have balconies that are very far from the stage with cheaper seats. Often times they were such a distance that you could only see figures moving across the stage and forget about seeing faces that is part of the acting processes. Opera glasses would enable those people in the gallery to see much better almost to the point of seeing the facial expressions of the performers. Opera Glasses are not a new item on the market because they have been available since the 50’s.
