Dark Night Outdoors (DNO) Tactical Eyecup for the Trijicon Hunter-IR Series eyecup incorporates a couple nice features for this series of thermals. It has a shutter door that opens giving full view of the screen when you push into the eye cup. when released it closes to conceal light from the screen, which can reflect back giving away your location before you get a shot off! the shutter also assists in keeping the lens clean and clear from dust, dirt & debris. This eye cup also comes with a focus ring for the Diopter, which makes it easier to focus. The tactical eye cup is made from a soft rubber that will not stiffen up in cold weather and will not get flimsy in warm weather. This is a great must have accessory!
Installation Instructions: Both the Eye cup and Focus Ring is a tight fit to prevent movement. The Focus ring needs to be installed first, I recommend turning on the scope, and focusing the diopter ring before installing the eye cup. when installing the eye cup, push it all the way up to the Focus ring. this will help keep the focus ring from inadvertently being moved. Keeping you in focus! The Tactical eye cup slides on and is a friction fit. Over time if installed and removed frequently the eye cup may become loose. We designed this to be a friction fit so there is no modification necessary to the scope nor will it scratch or damage the scope itself, so it does not void the warranty.
Specification: Made from rubber material with multiple folds and an ergonomic eye cup, providing ample flexibility. Comfortable cushion and protection for the eye area against recoil Use with optics to relieve eye strain by blocking glare or enhancing low light, and to improve focus on target by eliminating distractions from peripheral movement. Eyeshade design enables quick eye positioning for proper eye relief and optic center alignment to speed up target acquisition and increase sighting accuracy

They do different jobs. IR night vision uses an infrared illuminator to light the scene and gives a detailed picture, but it needs that light source. Thermal reads heat, so warm animals stand out in total darkness, light fog or brush. The IR-HUNTER is a thermal scope despite the name, built for spotting heat at night.
Generally no. Thermal scopes sense long-wave heat, and an IR laser or illuminator puts out near-infrared light that a thermal sensor doesn't pick up. You'd need digital or tube night vision to see it. Through a thermal like the IR-HUNTER, what shows is the animal's body heat, not added light.
