Bob,

In his review, the guy who runs "A Better View Desired" also noticed what
you mention. He suggested rolling the eyecaps up a little to eliminate
that. I rolled mine up about a 1/16th of an inch and superglued them in
place. It solved the problem. I also noticed that when I switched to a
thinner plastic lens in my glasses it made the problem worse. I am thinking
about going back to the thicker plastic lens for that reason and also
because the new ones scratch easier.
