Do you take photos wearing your glasses?

I keep them on all the time while shooting. Have never even considered taking them off.

I shoot with them off, but I need them for camera adjustments, unless I'm looking through the viewfinder. It's a toss-up between 1X and 2X readers from the Dollar Tree.

Years ago, I switched from using two pair of glasses, one for distance-one for reading. The problem-some cameras I look through and some I look at. Thus, the need to switch glasses depending on what I was doing. I opted for progressive lenses and have enjoyed using only one pair of glasses for everything I do.

I only need reading glasses and I don't use them when using the EVF. I may need them for the LCD viewfinder. That is one of the reasons I am mirrorless. I can review the shot and change all of my settings in the EVF without having to put my glasses on to 'chimp'.

Why not just ask your eye doctor or where you get your glasses from , seems they would be the one to have the correct answer .

I was near-sighted my entire life, and would have been useless trying to work without my glasses. When I had my cataract surgery, I chose implants that corrected my distant vision, since by then I needed help seeing closeup also. So now I can shoot without glasses, but can't see the camera. Most of the time, I just leave my glasses on. It's just a lot easier. Besides all that, I usually have to have my sunglasses on outside if the sun is shining.

I keep my glasses on so I can find the camera. I have also stepped into the shower with them still on.

I agree, but to whom were you replying?

I leave my glasses on unless I'm shooting out in a bright sunny day. In that situation my transition lenses darked considerably and it's difficult not only to see my subjects, but slso to see the settings in my viewfinder. As a result, when it's very sunny I take my glasses off and reset the camera's diopter, which through experimentation is all the way to one end with my glasses off. Resetting the diopter when I put my glasses back on is not a problem either since I know that its optimum position is six clicks away from the other end of the range.

After cataract surgery, the diopter adjustment takes care of viewfinder focus. I still keep a pair of readers to view the LCD screen for critical focus in live view or tablet with CamRanger if needed.
Though I can usually make adjustments without looking a the dials or buttons, I still use the readers in some cases.

(That was my second guess.)
