Sorry to say but it sounds as if the binoculars have suffered a jolt.

All bincoculars are collimated at the factory so they will focus together at a "central point".

Some Binocular dealers will check the collimnation prior to shipping.. and make adjustments as needed..

If the internal prisms were shifted out of place or the frame was bent.. chances are it will be cheaper to replace then to repair... if not impossible to repair.

Inspect the frame.. to check for any debris or loose fasteners.. but I am afraid that these will need to be replaced.

Best of luck

I have a pair of Plastimo military binoculars which have been fine up to now, but suddenly, despite being able to focus using the two eye piece controls, I cannot get anything other than a double image, no...

Hello - I never had Plastimo before but I have had a similar problem with double vision on a very similar looking pair of binoculars.
The eye piece movement just re-aligns eye focus differences , a double image usually means one of the lenses has moved inside the main tube. (usually from a knock/fall etc)
Can you rotate either one of the tubes ? On my pair I had to rotate anti-clockwide and found a prism inside that had slipped after a fall -
Close one eye and try to gauge which side is the best side -- Ray

Seeing double in 12x50 powerview binoculars. I don't see double in other binoculars.

The optics have shifted. Either the front objective housing have been knocked sideways in the body thread, or the intermal prisms have moved. If they are new binoculars take them back to the place of purchase and ask if they can repair them or know of a repair agent.

Try grabbing the binoculars in both hands and twisting the body in the opposite direction of the double vision until the images coincide.

Hi the ir is not working on my bushnell 26-0400,is there any way you can help (repair ?)

I had the same model, same problem. Bushnell replaced mine under warranty, If they needed to send it for repair it had to go to Russia. I guess it was cheaper to give me a new one. If its not under warranty Bushnell will send it off for you but it will cost quite a bit. My new pair lasted about 2 years with a lot of usage. Gen 1 night vision tubes do not have a very long life span. You may be better served buying a new pair of night vision binos.

Hi - This called the diopter adjustment which compensates for small differences in focus between the left & right eyes.

See the following web page for adjusting :

Double vision

The distance between the centers of the eyepieces of your binocular must be the same as the distance between your pupils. This distance is adjusted as follows: 1. Focus on a distant object. 2. Pivot the two halves of your binocular farther or closer apart until you can see a single unobstructed, circular field of view. Make sure to focus on a distant object when you do this because when you focus on a close object you always see two slightly overlapping circular fields. Your binocular may have a scale on the top, between the eyepieces, to help you remember this setting.
