A monocular is a telescope made with prisms to reduce its overall length. A monocular is used for single eye viewing of distant objects and scenery. Monoculars have a simplified design and a practical purpose. 

A monocular is worthwhile for most people and highly recommended for people with very unequal eye conditions because wide-ranging disparities in eye traits can exceed the accommodations of field glasses. A monocular is sometimes described as less than half the body of binoculars.
