Glassing fatigue.

[Rodmor80]

Hello all,
I have a question about eye fatigue from glassing. I had an eye drift fixed about a year ago, and ever since if I glass for any length of time out of any of my optics I am darn near asleep due to the fatigue. Sometimes it's in as little as an hour sometimes longer but it always happens. The optics I am carrying are usually a combination of 8x42 athlon cronus, 15x56 vortex vulture hd, and a 15-30x50or 56 leupold gold ring straight spotter. I have a tricer peg on both binos to run on my tripod like my spotter. I usually use and eye patch with the spotter. Any insight or tips and tricks to help alleviate the fatigue and stay awake. I am hunting in the mountains of southern california.
Thank you all

Phone scope set up may help alleviate as you won’t be squinting through the glass

Honestly, better glass may help maybe look at upgrading binos and then the spotter

Better glass... sorry to say but that should buy you more time.

I would also just incorporate more still hunting into your technique.

I am a big fan of naps as well. Maybe that'll help. An eye-shade really helps.

The better the glass the less fatigue

I find side shields helpful on binos

Since upgrading to NLs I find I can keep in the glass almost all day without issue. Ive considered getting winged eye cups as the only thing that messes with me is sun from the sides while trying to focus in the glass.
As for the spotter, an upgrade may help, but I do get fatigue if picking things apart for long periods of time. The Ollin system has helped significantly. I dont usually spend too much time in the spotted, but when I do I usually slap the phone on.
