I started using the LCD when they came out cause I wear glasses and it's difficult to use the optical. What do all you other photographers with glasses use?

Pepper Loc: Planet Earth Country USA

I wear bifocals and use both the view finder and the LCD screen, the view finder probably 80% of the time.

lacsar Loc: Columbia SC and Newland NC

I push my glasses up on the top of my head or put them in my pocket.

No live view on my camera. I swallowed my pride and bought an eye glass chain, and a diopter for my camera that matches my distance vision. Now I look not only am a grandma I look like one too.

I wear my glasses and get my nose pressed in and sideways, against the back of the camera. My wife hasn't said anything about my nose being lopsided (maybe she just hasn't noticed).
It's part of my 3 point camera stabilization system.....
2 hands and 1 nose= 3 points.
I hadn't thought about it, I may move the camera slightly to see all 4 corners of the viewfinder.
I'm just used to it.

Both. Wear glasses all the time so I set the diopter to them and also use the LCD sometimes.

I use both. I wear glasses and found viewfinder difficult in bright sunlight. I had hard time finding rubber eyecup for Sony SLT55.
By chance came across one at B&H, under the Kalt name. Need to press into cup a bit.

I have been having trouble going manual with the fact that my shots don't seem focused. I have bifocals and now I wonder if I am looking through the proper place in the lens of my glasses to see the shot through the eyepiece of the camera. Is this possible?

Maybe it's just me then. My eyes are pretty bad and I have difficulty setting the optical to be clear. It's always dark and slightly out of focus on every camera I've ever tried. With the larger, brighter LCD my eyes are better able to process.

I have trifocals with the lines. When manual focusing, I look out to find the sweet spot and make a mental note where it is in relation to the top line. Then, using the line as a reference, I try to look thru the same spot and thru the viewfinder.
Hope this helps!

That's what I was doing.
