Although I'm a hard-core Leupold fan, I do own several Redfields, and with the exception of one 4x12 fogging up, I have found them to be quite acceptable, and well-made. Perhaps you either need to adjust your focus with the eyepiece, wear some sort of corrective lenses, or a combination of both. Sometimes those "reading" glasses sold at various stores will help. You may wish to try them. Anyhow, good luck-----
