Monocular?

So my dad wants a monocular for his birthday and I've no idea about them. Binoculars don't work as he struggles with his vision. Anyone use one? Any suggestions for a sub £150 monocular?

Thanks!

They’re handy little things to carry around, I’ve got one that cost £55, IIRC,  I bought it in London Camera Exchange in Bath, it’s a Vortex Solo, 8x25. For £150 you ought to be able to get something really good. Uttings do a decent range, the Vortex one is £59, but there are a range of others up to £148.

We have a Hawke monocular for occasional use. Really clear image and easy to use. Would recommend it.

Can recommend the Hawke endurance. I've had mine for nearly three years & it's been great. Small enough to carry around easily & crystal clear image.
