EVF with bifocals (lemmy.today)

I just got new glasses, after an appointment featuring my optometrist telling me "I warned you you were getting older." The bifocal script isn't strong, but it's there!

And now I can't figure out how to use my viewfinder. I can use the screen, but I preferred (or at least did!) to use the EVF. Right now, I can't even get it clear enough to adjust the diopter. I have to imagine there's someone else here with bifocals who has figured out what works for them -- advice, tips, tricks, ways to reverse my degrading eyesight, I'll take anything.

Thanks!

Odd I have bifocal lenses as well and have no issue with the EVF in my Nikon, or with the optical viewfinder in my DSLRs (also Nikon).

Are you sure it's not a problem with the camera? Get someone else to try it?

My kid has had no problems, but they might be too inexperienced to notice. That's a good thing to check, thanks!
