Leica sells diopters attachment for the M6 which screw onto the viewer. I
think the new style diopters have a rubber surround to assist in the
placement and removal of the diopter AND can protect  glasses from
scratches.  You can get the minimum diopter without it affecting your
vision. Give Leica USA a call for more details.
