Viv tel 76700 takes both size eyepieces. There is a small sleeve in the eyepiece holder that reduces the size to .965in(cheap 2 element plastic pieces), take it out and use 1.25in( 4+ element glass) pieces and you will see better. This scope has many names on it, search 76700 telescope and you'll see.

You will not find an instruction manual for that small telescope. However Meade maintains a web site for their telescopes. Look under REFRACTOR for one similar to your scope.

The only thing I know of that can cause this effect is if you are looking into the eyepiece mount of a reflector telescope without there actually being an eyepiece in it. Seeing your own eye in this situation is a check that the collimation (lining up of the optical elements) is good.
You need to put an eyepiece into the mount. This scope is meant to come with two eyepieces, but if you bought it second-hand and didn't get them, you can buy eyepieces from several sources, including Amazon and eBay. Measure the eyepiece tube's inside diameter. The most common barrel size for eyepieces is 1.25 inches, but there are also some small telescopes that use eyepieces just under an inch (.965") in diameter, which are harder to find. If you have to buy eyepieces, they are likely to cost more than this scope is really worth.
