If the built-in knob does not have enough range, the additional lens can be placed on the eyepiece to shift it.
The external diopters seem to be available from -5 to +3 strength.
You would then fine tune it with the knob.

Then I suggest you call Nikon at 1-800-645-6687.

The Nikon D7200 unlike other higher end Nikon cameras the eyepiece doesn't come off. If you need to add diopter because the built in adjustment is insufficient then you just slide the additional diopter on the eyepiece. The higher end camera you would need to remove the plain glass eyepiece before adding the diopter.

Go back about 10 posts. Read it and follow through. Very easy.

People here are making it too complicated. Figure out what correction you need plus or minus. This is very easy to do put the camera on a tripod I want it to something with some sharp texture like a brick wall turn the correction One way or the other so you can figure out in which direction you need additional correction. Then call B&H And ask for their advice there are several different strength of correction. You might want to get more than one. Putting it on your camera is very easy and obvious

Unfortunately that leads nowhere. It only works for users who don’t actually need an add-on correction lens. But I certainly do agree that most of the replies overly complicate the situation.

The diopter on your camera is an internal component and would require major disassembly to replace. However, I don't believe they make anything but the original lens for this. You may be able to find an add on diopter that simply slips over the eyepiece but it will probably be a trial and error process to find the right one.

What the inquirer wants to know is how to install a diopter lens on his existing eye piece. This does not replace the current eyepiece lens. It slides into the slots on either side of the existing eye piece. It essentially is a magnifying lens so the user can focus and not have to wear his glasses to do so. Just push up on the existing eyepiece and it should slide out (this is the factory rubber eye piece.) The slide the new diopter into place. Now I can't answer your question without seeing your new diopter. Looking at my rubber cup that I just slid off. it seems to attach to the frame with two very tiny screws. the rubber cup may also attach to your new diopter frame. If so take it to a jeweler. He'll have a screwdriver to work with the tiny screws and a magnifier to see what he is doing.

For those who are into these attachments, I have a 90 degree right angle viewer that also slides into the slots on my viewfinder. when you get down low to an object, you don't have to put your face in the dirt to focus and frame

Yes it has an adjustment but it is not strong enough. Got it figured out though. Thx.
