I can adjust the diopter to the point where I can see clearly through the viewfinder when I am wearing my glasses. What drives me nuts is that I have reading glasses, and driving glasses for seeing beyond the end of my arm.
Neither pair of eyeglasses is ideally suited for using the camera. If I wear the driving glasses, then it is hard to read the LCD menus, but I can see very clearly through the viewfinder, except I cannot read the info display very well. If I wear the reading glasses, then I can read the menus, but I cannot see through the viewfinder as well, except I can read the info display quite easily.

Holy cow. That must be a pain, having to switch between those glasses. But at least you get some measure of visual correction from one pair or another.
The upside of all this is that you must have more glasses in your drawer to choose from than Fred Sanford. 🙂
I don't switch. Unless I forget to change, I normally use my driving glasses to shoot photographs. While using the camera involves one compromise or another, at least the "long distance" glasses give me opportunity to better see subjects that I could photograph.
You guys use zoom lenses on your cameras, yet you use only "prime" lenses in your glasses? My driving glasses are trifocals: long-range for the road, intermediate for the dashboard, and reading glasses in case I have to stop and read a map. My main computer glasses are bifocals: mid-range for sitting at a terminal, reading glasses for reading. I have one pair of mid-range primes that used to be reading glasses when I was younger, but now serve ass extra-strong mid-range glasses for doing crosswords on a computer. I use the driving glasses for photography, but I'm frankly not sure which range I use most.
