binoculars
Birdwatcher's magnifying device
Binoculars are a handheld optical device with two barrels, one for each eye, used to magnify distant objects.
They function like a pair of small telescopes mounted side by side: She watched the birds through binoculars.
Field glasses and opera glasses are types of binoculars.
The word is almost always plural, though a single unit is occasionally called a binocular.
