Carefully clean your binoculars
by firstly removing any dirt or dust from the main
body and straps using a soft microfibre cloth.
Avoid the lenses at this point using any form of
cloth on the lenses before removing all dirt and
dust particles first could destroy
them.
Gently remove all traces of grit,
dirt or dust particles from the lenses using a soft
lens brush or canned air specifically designed for
the purpose.
Waterproof binoculars can be
rinsed gently under a tap but be sure to use on
lightly running water, avoid high pressure water as
it could damage your
binoculars.
Gently remove any remaining marks
using lens cleaning tools such as a lens pen or
lens cleaning fluid and lens tissue. Do not be
tempted to use kitchen towel or anything else lying
around that is slightly rough and may scratch the
surface of the lens, only use a lens pen, lens
tissue or a lens cloth. Gently wipe the lens using
a circular motion working from the centre of the
lens to the outer edge. NEVER apply lens cleaning
fluid directly onto the glass (always apply to the
cloth) and always ensure that the lens cleaning
fluid you are using is recommended for the type of
lens coatings that have been applied to your
binoculars (Do not use general
household glass cleaning products or products
designed to clean computer screens or glasses. Such
products could destroy the lens coatings of your
binoculars if used).
The entire diopter setting eyepiece was off.I separated the eye cup from the rest of the diopter setting eyepiece,
and aligned the channel guides on the lens piece to slide it into place.
Then holding it in place, taking care not to gum up the lens,
I experimented with how to screw in the retainer
ring so that its white dot registered correctly. Finally reattach the eye
cup and focus. It's like new!
Bausch & Lomb was purchased by Bushnell in the 70's. Your elites are Japanese made and considered quite a good binocular. Bushnell continued to make the same binoculars bearing the Elite name but replaced B&L with Bushnell. The current elites are different shaped. You could contact Bushnell or you could go to a store in your area that may stock the older Bushnell Elites and try and see if the eyecups fit.
