What's the difference between binocular and glasses?

Binocular


Definition:

  • (a.) Having two eyes.
  • (a.) Pertaining to both eyes; employing both eyes at once; as, binocular vision.
  • (a.) Adapted to the use of both eyes; as, a binocular microscope or telescope.
  • (n.) A binocular glass, whether opera glass, telescope, or microscope.

Example Sentences:

  • (8) Prism fixation disparity curves were determined in three different experimental situations: the routine method according to Ogle, a method to stimulate the synkinetic convergence (Experiment I, with one fixation point as sole binocular stimulus) and a method to stimulate the fusion mechanism (Experiment II, with random dot stereograms).

  • (18) Scleral depression with binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy will be easier to learn if the examiner observes the patient's pupillary reflex through the ophthalmoscope without looking through the hand-held condensing lens.
  • (19) Binocular single vision was restored after buckle removal and strabismus surgery in three further patients (20%), one requiring a prism in addition.
  • (20) The reduction was much smaller in humans with impaired binocular vision, at least for the dominant eye.

Glasses


Definition:

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The previous year, he claimed £1,415 for two new sofas, made two separate claims of £230 and £108 for new bed linen, charged £86 for a new kettle and kitchen utensils and made two separate claims, of £65 and £186, for replacement glasses and crockery.

  • (8) The average repetitive yields and initial coupling of proteins spotted or blotted into PVDF membranes ranged between 84-98% and 30-108% respectively, and were comparable with the yields measured for proteins spotted onto Polybrene-coated glass fiber discs.
  • (9) Samples of rockwool and glass fibre were compared with chrysotile fibres for their capacity to hydroxylate 2-deoxyguanosine to 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine, a reaction that is mediated by formation of hydroxyl radicals.
