Pertaining to one eye. Also is used to mean a hand-held telescope (low tech device).
a one piece viewing scope whereas a binocular is a two piece viewing scope for both eyes

Having or relating to one eye.
a telescopic-type optical tool used to magnify and view objects in greater detail; used with one eye, usually hand held; lower powers may be mounted on eyeglasses; hand-held units particularly effective for spotting and reading signs, i.e., Walk/Don't Walk signs, street signs, rest room signs, bus numbers, etc.

Using one eye; a device intended for use with one eye.
A viewing device made to produce an image for one eye only.
A monocular is a modified refracting telescope used to magnify the images of distant objects by passing light through a series of lenses and prisms; the use of prisms results in a lightweight telescope. Volume and weight are less than half those of binoculars, making it easy to carry along.
