Comment on I have amblyopia. Is this accurate?
dustyData@lemmy.world 6 months agoIt’s a pair of binoculars, but it has always made me feel uneasy. It’s a single device, composed of two oculars. It’s technically called a “binocular telescope”, because there are monocular telescopes. But we just call them telescopes. Though it wouldn’t be wrong to call a pair of binoculars just a telescope. So both ways are correct, but I guess language is just weird like that.
