I've been in the US Navy for 21 years and served on 6 ships. I have only ever once seen a Steiner 7X50 in use and they were quickly replaced with the Nikon CF WP 7 X 50. Why? They were cheaper, better quality, and most importantly, they were center focus. What we discovered, was that the independent eye focus on the Steiner's was a huge hassle if the binoculars needed to be borrowed to another person. Instead of the other person just adjusting the center focus to their needs, with the Steiner's you had to fiddle with that silly independent eye focus and waste a whole bunch of time.
I have a STEINER 7x50 , compass binoculars. I did not find in Brasil an expert to clean some fungos inside it. I need a book instruction giving me how to open the body and how much to pay.
Send then back to the factory, the seals could have broken lettin the nitrogen out and the fungus in. They will have to open them, clean then and put new seals and refill it with nitrogen. That cannot be done by the owner, but by a trained tecnician. The nitrogen shall endure 30 to 40 years normally.

Steiners guarantee policy should aply here, you should be able to contact steiner and send it to the factory to get it fixed or replaced.
