Glasses on or off when shooting?

So as I continue on the downhill slope to 40 my eyes are getting worse and now I'm gonna be wearing glasses full time.

So how do you other 4 eyed photogs do it? The standard diopter is more than enough for me right now so I'll be able to shoot without the glasses on no problem, I just need to hold the camera at arms length to read the settings

I like glasses-on, but I'm weird like that. Also, glasses-off would require a hell of a lot of adjustments. I just use the softest rubber eyepiece cover I can find.

I need to see out of both eyes, so I shoot with my glasses on.

I leave my glasses on and shoot in auto most of the time. Previously I had manually focused most of the time, but I just can't trust it now, and since I share the camera I can't set it to my eyes.

My problem is that I had 20/20 vision all along until, some time in my 40s, I started needing reading glasses in low light and, over the years, things kept going. My longer range vision is holding out fairly well, and in fact to wear corrective lenses has absolutely never been a consideration so when I'm out and about I don't even think of bringing reading glasses...sometimes to my detriment!

When shooting, the diopter fortunately works for me, but there are times it sure would help if I had remembered to bring along reading glasses when the light is low and I need to check something! At some point the illumination button comes into play...but I still sometimes kick myself...and, manualy focusing using Live View I really need them around!

I'm short-sighted but I can't stand glasses when I shoot, so I wear contacts whenever I do. Some of my friends however are perfectly fine shooting with their glasses on.

i'm short-sighted, wearing glasses all the time unless i'm sleeping (or making love ), also while shooting. i don't have the time to take them off and i can't take the camera down to judge the scene without them.

+1 Plus, for me it's too much trouble to take them off and find somewhere to put them safely while holding the camera and shooting, then put them on again so I can see well enough to avoid bumping into walls or falling off a cliff. The only real issue I've had wearing them while shooting is difficulty in getting the entire viewfinder into my field of view.

Glasses on always when shooting, no problems, too fiddly otherwise

seeing as how i'm practically blind, i'd say glasses on but if i can, i wear my contacts.

Glasses on...

I've never even considered leaving my glasses off.

Glasses on.

Only time it bothers me is when I'm using backbutton focusing for sports shooting, have to wipe my right glass couple times.

On. Definitely on.

Glasses on 99% of the time. 1% is sleeping.

Go see an eye dr and get a proper perscription lens.
