Hi,

I found these binocular-glasses a couple of years ago, but I still don't know what they're used for or how they're called.

Binoculars - side
Binoculars - front

If you put them on, you have basically the same effect as binoculars: far-away objects seem closer and bigger.

Can anyone identify this thing?

I believe those are for watching operas.

Ah; hadn't thought of that! That may be possible indeed.

Theater goggles? They might be jewler's glasses or maybe for surgery? I'm not entirely sure.

They'd be good for getting reactions from people. Just wear them around. Carry a walkie-talkie and say things like, "I think we're approaching resonance," etc, for improved effect.

ROFL cheesey I once tried them on at my school, and I think about 10 people tried them on as well and they didn't want to give 'em back! They aren't really comfortable, though.

They would not work as binoculars do, then.

First time I saw them, I thought they were jeweler's glasses too, but indeed, as Ben says, they work like binoculars so can't be used for magnifying close objects.
