Can you explain what you mean by that?  Are you saying that difference
in sharpness of the image through binoculars compared to without is not
as great now that your vision is corrected?  I think I'm experiencing
this effect too, to some degree, and I'm not as happy with my binoculars
anymore.  I think I need a trip to the shop to compare some to reasssure
myself they're ok again.

They're soft, but no idea what they're made of.
