They work very well indeed. Nice wide viewing area with bright lines, 100% of the subject in view. There is a rubber or soft plastic cover, similar to an "O" ring, around the view finder. No scratches on the eyeglass lens. If that ring has worn away, you may want to replace it. In 1996 I have had a new eyeglass prescription every three or four weeks. My vision has varied from 20/15 ... which is outstanding! (corrected) to -4.5 or more diopters ... legally blind. With the Nikon F4s I had to trust the autofocus. With an M, I was/am able to focus tightly using a vertical line in the subject. I have not found eyeglasses to be a problem with the M. The metal eye shield one is forced to wear after an eye surgery is a problem! Try an "M" for a few days, see if you can live with the M display.
