A Vixen Optics monocular is a modified refracting telescope used to magnify the images of distant objects by passing light through a series of lenses and prisms; the use of prisms results in a lightweight telescope. Volume and weight are less than half those of binoculars, making it easy to carry. A Monocular can be used for the visually impaired, golf, hunting, birding, sporting events, survival, and espionage. For these specific tasks smaller monoculars are made that fit inside a regular pocket; they are frequently referred to as "pocket scopes".
