For that matter, a simple neck lanyard worked for me for years. Drop the glasses when shooting, lift them on when reading the outcome.

Electronic viewfinder is the real answer. IMHO

Thanks for the tip. Since cataract surgery I only use glasses for doing the controls.

Great idea....if you're a cap wearer, LOL.
I'm not much into caps, so have to resort to putting the cheaters on top of my head, and putting them off and on as needed. ~sigh~ Isn't it wonderful getting older?!?

:D :D :D

It beats the alternative. :)

Would contacts be a feasible solution to the problem.

I find I like getting older much better than not getting older. I guess I can still handle a few aches and pains. I do sometimes feel though that my golden years are getting a bit tarnished.

Go to hoodmanusa.com ...
Look for photoframes (or fotoframes, whatever...).
I've used them for 5-6 years, and they work quite well...

Do I smell a fellow 12er?

and your tagline here cracked me up too:
"I'm not nearsighted. My eyes just have good bokeh."

This seems to be a good place to ask this question.
I suffer from severe double vision because of a childhood accident. It is "barely" controlled with prismatic lenses. When looking through one eye, the prismatic lenses cause me problems, because it shifts where I'm looking, and it is pain to keep taking the glasses on and off when I need to quickly raise the camera. (I can set the diopter and see perfectly through one eye)

Here are my options. Have a pair of regular glasses with no prism, and put a patch over one eye. Arrrrgh, maties!

What I would love to find is a pair of glasses where one "or both" lenses flip up (kind of like the old clip on sunglasses) so I can see "what I'm trying to look at" in the viewfinder, instead of the corner, and have to try to adjust. (not as natural as you would think, once your eyes are trained)

Has anyone ever found (I've looked at several eye doctors) a place that does specialty flip up glasses like that? I was thinking it would be handy for other things as well.

Thanks
