Shoot with them on. With a -8.5 diopter correction, I can't see anything with them off, except the LCD at very close range.

I mostly wear my contact lenses when I'm with my camera.
If not, mostly over, and trust on AF.
Sometimes I use Live View, if I have enough space and time.

I wear my glasses. I also notice after about 30 minutes of taking pictures my vision is very blurry for a bit. *shrugs*

I've never bothered to try and adjust the diopter.
