Can you believe I have still not decided on buying my first good camera! Not because of the camera, I narrowed that down to a Nikon d5600 or a Sony A6000.......I am going back to the eye doctor today, this has now become my hangup.......I can not see far and near clearly at the same time, at all, very bad vision......and yes I could wear my bifocal glasses over my contacts, I just can't seem to get used to doing that with the camera needed right in my face. My optometrist let me try out a pair of contacts with bifocals this past week, but I can not see real close up with them, he said with my eyesight, that it may not be possible, that we would have to keep trying....................I also tried wearing just one contact for the far and leaving one out for the near, but when looking at one or the other, I have to cover one eye each time to focus, not only unprofessional looking, but takes extra time.......PLEASE TELL ME WHAT OTHERS DO THAT TAKE PICS THAT CAN'T SEE FAR AND NEAR AT THE SAME TIME............. In summary, I can't afford to invest a great deal of money into a camera, if I can not see what I am doing. Thanks for your inquiry, haven't forgotten all you fine folks and your wonderful advice, just still trying to figure this out.

Instead of using your hand to cover you eye, just close the one eye. I was born with only being able to use one eye at a time. In order to use my non dominant eye, I just close the other.
