The
Eyepal is basically a pin hole diopter type sight that you stick on your
glasses which then lets you simultaneously see the target, your front and rear
sights — all in focus.
It's made
out of a static cling material, it can be easily placed on and off of reading,
prescription and safety glasses — without marring the surface or leaving any
residue.
Compact,
lightweight and virtually indestructible.
This is
the Master Kit - It contains one aperture (sight) for use with rifles and one
for use with pistols or bows.
Who is it
for?
Anyone who has trouble with "fuzzy"sight when aiming a rifle
or handgun (or trying to sight on similarly small objects with accuracy such
as, for example, when taking golf shots
The
EyePal provides the open (iron) sight shooter with a small image where
everything is in focus. This is particularly useful to shooters who have limited
near vision but have good far vision.
Can the
EyePal be used with reading glasses?
Yes, the EyePal is specifically designed for those affected with presbyopia
(limited near vision). Being far-sighted, they can already resolve the target
in the distance. Using the EyePal, they can now acquire the sights of the
firearm at the same time.
What
about persons with astigmatism?
Most shooters with astigmatism get a prescription that allows a focused front
rifle sight, a slightly de-focused rear sight and a target with adequate
resolution. While its impossible to account for every scenario, experience
shows that most astigmatism issues are resolved when using the EyePal.
Here is a
great "before and after" with astigmatism example:
In the
shot on the left, (before) only the front sight is in focus. On the right
Eyepal has been fitted and the results are amazing
What can
I expect when using a handgun?
Since the handgun is at an arm's length away from the eye and well within the minimum
focus point of eight inches, its' sights will be in focus simultaneously with
the target.
Can
persons with 20/20 vision use the EyePal?
Yes. You can easily mount the EyePal on your safety glasses to acquire a
desired sight picture free of peripheral vision issues. We won't promise you
"super vision" but you be the judge...
How about
using the EyePal at the indoor range?
Light levels in both shooting-booths and indoor ranges may not be adequate to
properly illuminate the sights of the firearm.
How Does
it Work?
Typically, the eye "sees" a huge amount of visual information,
information that includes, say, a target. The target shooter is only interested
in the target — the rest of the peripheral visual information is not useful and
not needed.
Using the
EyePal provides the target shooter with three advantages.
- First, the EyePal aperture
is small and therefore provides maximum depth of focus.
- Second, the EyePal produces
a very small image which travels undistorted through both the lens of the
reading glasses and the pupil of the eye. The result? The rifle's sights
and the target are in focus simultaneously.
- Third, the peripheral vision
is obscured by the large black area of the EyePal and thus creates extra
contrast for good sight and target acquisition.
FAQs
How do I
attach the EyePal to my glasses?
Simply open the top of a well and remove the EyePal being careful not to drop
it. Press the EyePal onto the clean lens of the glasses. The image above shows
a right-handed shooter with an EyePal located near the bridge of his glasses.
Note that the cheek is resting on the comb of the stock. This will put the
EyePal in the proper location. It may take a few relocation moves to find your
sight-line. Thereafter, you will find it's second nature to always place the
EyePal in the same location.
Can I use
the EyePal with a pistol?
Yes. The handgun sights are well within the depth of focus provided by the EyePal.
Your particular stance will determine the ultimate location of the EyePal on
your eyeglasses.
I shoot
with both eyes open. Can I use the EyePal?
Users are being queried as to their results. Most have expressed positive
results.
What
about my "Dominant eye"?
The EyePal provides the dominant eye with a sight picture with all elements in
focus simultaneously. The EyePal also removes most of the unwanted peripheral
vision and improves the contrast of the image.
I'm a
leftie, how do I position the EyePal?
For the rifle shooter, place the EyePal on the left lens near the bridge of the
glasses.
Can I use
the EyePal with safety glasses?
Yes. A pair of safety glasses with an EyePal mounted on the lens in the
shooter's sight-line is fine. If you are using safety glasses and your reading
glasses, attach the EyePal to your reading glasses.

Testimonials
"This
is no trick, it really works fantastic!"
I was
using it with a No.4 Enfield at 600 yds last weekend with solid hits on man
size targets. At 1000 yds, I could see the targets fine but my sights did
not have elevation to range and hit. I am fixing that with a milled adj. rear
British sight and will go out and drop men sized targets at 1000 yds. My theory
of Infantry rifles is : If I can see you, I can drop you. Of course,
these days, I need the Eye Pal to help me to that. But ... I can see the
targets !!!
I am
finding use of hand gun eye pal is perfect for my aperture type rifles like M1,
No.4 Enfield and MAS 36. On K31 Swiss, its leaf rear sight let me use the hand
gun edition easily. On No.1 Enfields and Mosin Nagants, I got to use the
rifle model eye pal. I don' know why... its all Voo Doo. But : it
works so what else does a infantryman need to know besides that !
Soon as I
master 1000, I will send you photos of target.
If
someone can use Eye Pal, then take it off and still retain sight picture,
then I would submit he has been nipping at the cognac flask ! Eye
Pal on: I am good to go. Eye Pal off: I am 64 yrs old and not
doing very well.
Eye
Pal: Front sight, rear sight and target crystal clear.... that is the
Litmus test for me.
By the
way , 300 yds with iron sights on that No.4 Enfield and Eye Pal: I was
doing head shots.
"This
is a great sight for the Junior Program. The kids are on target in no
time."
"My
scores have jumped and my groups are much tighter."
"I
thought that I would have to scope my entire C&R collection but since I can
now see the sights with my EyePal, I'm good. I can enjoy my handguns,
too."
"I
can shoot better than ever while using my readers. This helps me with my
loading chores, too. It's so easy. Thanks!"
"The
EyePal beats the other products hands down in cost, flexibility, ease of use
and storage capabilities. A very well-engineered product that does the job
perfectly."
"I
have discovered an amazing device that makes your target and sights, front and
rear, totally in focus at the same time, no matter what your eye problems may
be...This device is truly MAGIC!"
"I
promised to follow up with you after I'd had a chance to try it out — well I
have to say that I'm thrilled with the results... Thanks for making the EyePal,
and thanks for selling me one."
"It's
amazing what it does to your sight picture."
"I
couldn't believe what these little pieces of flexible plastic did for my aging
old eyes! I'm not sure why, or how they work... You may have to spend a minute
or two finding the best spot to put them on your glasses, but it will be worth
it."
"This
little accessory has a permanent place in my shooting kit...If these work well
for us older guys, I can only imagine what these would do for a younger
shooter."
"Good
Lord I'm saved!!! this is EXACTLY what I've been looking for!!!!"
"Getting
groups on target is much easier, now."
