Hi Howard, >From what you say, you might be OK using your camera without wearing spectacles. One of the few no cost options in this area! Some of the better camera shops may have full sets of dioptre adjusters which you can try out. (Minolta certainly had one years ago with the different values mounted on a slide - very useful for quickly seeing which was best.) And it does help if all the items in the viewfinder are set at the same apparent distance!
Visiting your optician is not a good option unless (s)he too is a photographer and fully understands where the virtual viewfinder image is set. They would probably assume infinity, or the standard close reading position of 10" or 25cm. Further personal note: I resisted moving in to AF until I got some unrepeatable family shots seriously out of focus using my old Minolta X-700 - simply due to my poor (spectacle corrected) eyesight not focusing on the screen, and the errors not being covered by depth of field.
