On - I use live view screen as often as viewfinder.

I shoot with mine on but take them off if I am using binoculars. Go figure!

Jerry's posting about eyeglass retainers raises a question. Do you wear your glasses or take them off, when looking through your camera's viewfinder? I was setting up my wife's Sony HX-400V and she complained the view was blurred, looking through the viewfinder.

"That's because I need to adjust the diopter for you with your glasses on." I said. "But I take my glasses off when I take pictures." she replied.

That made me think a bit...I have my D5500 set up so the view is clear when I'm wearing my glasses which I've always kept on when photographing. Mostly I keep them on out of fear of losing them if I put them down somewhere for the 2 to 3 minutes my memory's good for. Is this a bad technique or simply a personal preference? How about the rest of you? Why? If it's a bad idea to keep them on, I'll go with Jerry's retainer.

No
I have excellent vision with the age problem one encounters with close focus.
$ 1.00 readers solve that and the built in diopter of the camera makes up for the camera

I have progressive trifocals and leave them on.

I used to because before I have my cataract surgery I can't see well in the viewfinder even with the diopter adjustment set to max.


Lately, I notice everything is blurry when I look thru the viewfinder of either my Fuji S-T2 or Nikon D750. I found out I have cataracts in both eyes but the eye doctor said that the cataracts were not ripe enough to remove. So now I just let the white solid focus dot tell me when I am focus. Light green dot on the X-T2.

I didn't much of the time in the past, but I've gotten used to it, plus I've adjusted my diopter for my vision with glasses which is much sharper than without them.

I keep my glasses on. Never a problem.

Using progressive bifocals I normally take them off when looking through the viewfinder. I have also found that when using the glasses I miss detailed settings in the viewfinder and my composition is not as good.

I use both the EVF and the monitor on my GX7 (the monitor is a touch-screen) So my bi-focals stay on - with the EVF dioptre adjusted for distance. I installed a hardened glass screen protector on the monitor.

I wear mine. I don't need glasses for distance but I do need them for reading and looking at my LCD Screen to see if I'm getting is what I want or I always have someone ask if their eyes were open and I need to see that.

I have the viewfinder adjusted so I can shoot with them off. Seems to work better for me.
I keep an old pair in a shirt pocket or hanging from my collar if I need to use them for setting changes or review...

I wear progressive lenses, always leave them on. When taking photos I look through the distance portion and adjust the diopter setting on the camera until it looks sharp to me.
