Looking through VF with glasses

[Lee_Bo]

Lifetime glasses wearer here too but I've managed to deal with it when looking through the viewfinder.

Lasik may be an option but honestly glasses really aren't that much of a pain.

LASIK is only going to help correct distance-vision issues. I had it done 20 years ago and even though I couldn't read the big "E" on the eye chart, I walked out 20/20 and still am.

Having trouble reading the display in the viewfinder is probably being caused by changes in your up-close vision and is corrected by adjusting the diopter.

No, it's not that the text is blurry, I can read it fine once I adjust my eye placement. Without glasses my eye fits right where it's supposed to and I can see fine. Once I put the glasses on, I have to fiddle with my eye placement cause it's too far away and I don't see everything that is in there. With glasses you get a partial view. Try it and you'll see what I mean.

that's a big problem with the smaller crop bodies. I love the D800 viewfinder in comparison.

its worse when wearing glasses. everything about glasses suck.

No, it's just that the bottom line is not readily noticed, but I can see it if I move my eye up just a bit. It's not my vision, it's the eye relief that is the problem. I could easily read the information without glasses, but I don't want to remove and replace my glasses. I wear them all day, and when it's particularly windy, I use side shields on my glasses.

Now I get it and I'm afraid that I don't have a suggestion for that one, I can't say that I've ever had that issue.

But I often work under a microscope and am very used to moving my eyes/head around to see something rather than moving the object I'm working on and maybe I just do that with my camera and never noticed.
