Sadly, considering they are likely inexpensive, best thing is to replace them completely with a new binocular. The price to repair them could be better spent on a new or good used binocular.
If that isn't acceptable, you can Cory at [email protected] for a price for parts or repair. He comes HIGHLY recommended after I have received consistently high quality repairs on different pieces of optical equipment I've sent him.
Good Luck
Tasco optical products are very cheaply made items, usually bought direct from whichever factory already makes the same or a similar model and then Tasco have their badges and packaging added.
They are consumer grade models which are not designed with longevity or repairs in mind; they're worth little when new and almost without value as used items.
The only repairs which can be done are by Tasco themselves whilst their products are under warranty. Except for the most minor of repairs, a warranty claim will simply involve exchanging the faulty item for a new one as any labour expended in repairs will often cost Tasco more than the wholesale price of a new unit.
Your only fixes are to live with the missing eyecup; to visit a binocular repair shop (not exactly commonplace) and see if you can buy an eyecup which can be adapted by yourself to fit; or to replace yours with another pair. You'll usually find that there are plenty for free on your local FreeCycle or Freegle group but they'll often have the even worse fault of a broken eyepiece yoke. But the price is right so it doesn't really matter if you have to collect five or six pairs before getting a good pair...
With all due respect, 7x-15x35 are going to be optically atrocious, so replacing your current pair is not a bad idea.
Best to take this to a repair agent as there are inherent problems in trying to fix these by yourself. Main one being zoom registration between both sides of the binocular.
You'll need to measure your eyepiece in "mm". Also determine if your eyepiece has an outer ring the eyepiece will slip over. You can find eyecups/guards on Ebay. Search under Binocular Eyecup or Binocular Eye Guard. There are also eyecups under "rubber eyecups/rubber eyeguards" but alot of these are for Microscopes and may not fit. You will need to pay close attention to the mounting type and measurements.
