That's actually not as daft a question as it sounds, but the answer is actually down to whether your camera is equipped with individual eyepiece diopter adjustment, I guess.
There's a regular on the forum called Keith D who works for SpecSavers as an optician. Let's hope he comes along soon...

so much to learn so little time
(off to look up what a 'individual eyepiece diopter adjustment' is.... I may be some time)

Usually on a different wavelength
Point the camera at something and let it autofocus.
Is it in focus in the viewfinder to your eyes, or do you need your glasses to see it clearly?
Most DSLR cameras have a dioptre adjustment on the viewfinder, knowing the make and model of camera may help us to help you.

Thanks John and all, I have now found the dioptre adjustment lever on my pentax K-m and I will RTFM to find out how to use it 8-P
Thank you so much for the enlightenment, the trouble is most of the time you don't know what you don't know!
Onwards and upwards. I wil try keeping my glasses on but it doesn't feel right touching the camera up against them.
Is there anyone who takes their glasses off?

Interesting subject Mary. I am happy to use my binoculars with glasses on, struggle to use a scope without taking them off and definitely have to take them off to use the camera. How I haven't dropped them, I don't know. We obviously need some of those stringy things that attach to the sides.

I drop mine all the time. I try to balance them on top of my head then make a movement and lose them. I can use optics with or without them but without and dropped i am as blind as a bat. :t::t:

the solution to this is to be found in fly fishing shops, get a retractable lanyard and attach to one arm of the specs no matter what you do with them then it will always pull them back to the lanyard reel
such as this http://www.sportfish.co.uk/product/hardy-stainless-retractor
