I have a long eye relief with my glasses and it is a problem to see the whole frame so my glasses lens really gets moved around over the eyepiece. I had some moleskin (the adhesive backed pads used to pad feet from blisters) in my pack and fashioned a small pad for around the view finder. After many years, I've changed it as needed and the last time, darkened it with a permanant magic marker. A little ratty but no more scratched lenses.
