The easiest way to use it is to leave the lens in one position most of the time (say, landscape orientation), do your focusing, and then simply rotate the camera for vertical framing when desired. Or vice versa for certain sessions, but usually there is no need for frequent rotation of the correction lens within its little mount.

You have to have your optician make up a suitable lens for it. You can rotate the lens within its mount to be able to shoot in landscape or portrait orientation. Most people find it to be too much of a hassle to be fiddling with the orientation of the correction lens all the time and prefer to use glasses or contacts.
