Got floaters? This might help.

This is a Vision Engineering "ISIS" pair of binoculars. A colleague said they do a decent job of making eye floaters less objectionable. There's a sort of rotating lenticulated disk for each eye that makes visual defects like floaters get averaged over the entire field of view and - voila - disappear. The entire unit basically replaces the eyepieces on a standard microscope head. My recollection is that the tube size was 30mm, with a wide field of view, but some loss of contrast. There's an old thread somewhere on this site with more details.

This one looks to be missing a power supply - a generic 12volt wall wart worked for the one I passed along:
