- Do opera glasses work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, opera glasses work and provide magnification in the range of 3x, sometimes even more.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The difference between opera glasses and binoculars relates to their size and optics. Opera glasses are generally smaller and feature low-power optics.
