I am wanting to change the diopter on my Nikon D7200. How do I remove the old one and replace it with a new one? Any help is appreciated. I dont want to do something wrong.

If you’ve got perfect eyesight you may not need to make any correction, but most of us haven’t so this dial is here to make adjustments for short or long sight. To use it, look through the viewfinder with your eye relaxed – don’t strain to force the display into sharp focus. With your eye still relaxed, turn the diopter adjustment dial to bring the display into sharp focus. This is something you’ll only need to do once unless your eyesight changes or someone else uses the camera.

If the diopter you have on is on the front of the lens, it just screws on. The replacement on you wish to install must of course be the same size, 49mm,52mm 55mm etc,

Check with your optometrist, buy proper adjustment, remove original eye cup and install. Search - there are "how to" videos on line. Link https://cdn-4.nikon-cdn.com/e/Q5NM96RZZo-fQ4laef9jmaIHh0rMHpc0/PDF/Eyepiece_Compatibility_Chart_07012008.pdf

IIRC you never remove the default lens. The correction lens slides over it once the rubber eyecup is removed.
Be aware that the SLR viewing screen is visually one meter away from your eye regardless of your eyesight/prescription.
Explain to your optometrist that you want your correct prescription for best viewing of something one meter away such as a large PC monitor. Then buy a correction eyepiece of that strength.
If you already have your prescription at hand, just add “+1” to your distance vision prescription and the result is the correction eyepiece to buy.

In the past there was a bit of math involved in choosing a Nikon correction eyepiece. That was becuz you actually removed and replaced the eyepiece lens. That *might* still be true with Nikon’s current round eyepieces.

Ok... got it. You take off the rubber eyepiece and slide this onto the viewfinder. Howeverm you can not put the rubber eyepiece back on.

Once again these show how to adjust not how to replace.
Correct.
But “replace” is not the deal. You only “augment”. The only thing to remove is the rubber light shield (aka eyecup).

The rubber eyepiece slides up to take it off. Then a new DK-20 diopter lense is slid down to install.
The annoying thing to me is that it looks like the rubber eyepiece should slide down on the outside of the diopter, but in my case the measurements seem to be slightly off, enough so that it doesn't fit.

Now I am confused, which is quite easy to do. I owned the Nikon D7200, does it not have a diopter adjustment on the camera?
