I always used the Nikon ATB 8X40 with great eye relief.
This year, I wanted 10X40 to see antlers better, so I bought the Leopold McKinley's from Doug at CL. Even at 10X these have plenty of ER. They are a little heavy and pricey but about the best I found for my old eyes.

Yep, Pentax DCF SP 8X43's work really well with glasses, 22mm of eye relief.

I would agree with huntsman.

I have used Zeiss, Swarovski, Leica, Leupold,
And an old pair of Sears binoculars. I do wear glasses now. I like Swaro's the best.
The Leica's were 10X42 and very good also, but I did not like having them hanging around my neck all day. Not so with my 8X SLC Swaro's. They just seem to fit me better. I traded my first pair of SLC's for the Leica's. I recently just bought a new pair and sold the Leica's for that reason - that and too much magnification for most of my hunting.
Great warranty on the Swaro's also.

I have a pair of Pentax DCF WP 8x32 and my wife has the Zeiss Conquest HD 8X42. We both wear glasses and these have plenty of eye relief and are eyeglass friendly. In fact, for the Zeiss I have to have the eye cups extended a bit as they are too close to my eyes with the eye cups all the way in. Avoid any that may have the rubber cups that you have to fold down (I think most good binos no longer have that anyway.)
