Hi Shrell,
I've purchased diopters for my 35mm cameras and a magnifyer for my medium format cameras. I still leave my glasses on, but the rubber cups around the magnifyer and diopters precent scratches on my glasses.

For those of you with mature eyes, how do you manage looking through your camera lens with your glasses on? I asked my optometrist about contacts, but was told that since I now use bifocals that contacts would be next to useless. My problem is that I'm loosing my long distance focal ability and find it difficult, to say the least, to focus my camera while wearing my glasses. What do all of you do to get around this problem? Or do you simply deal and hope for the best?
