Shooting with glasses

Yesterday I finally dragged myself to the eye doc and came home with glasses.  For those that wear glasses, how does it affect your shooting?  Is it easier to not wear them and trust that the auto focus is on, or do they not block that much of the view once you're used to them?

I shoot with glasses always, my wife can't at all. Depends on you I guess.

I don't have glasses, I wear contacts.  I know some of you already know this, but even with corrective lenses my vision is pretty bad. 
I just wanted to note that I use auto focus all of the time.  I don't use the diopter thing for two reasons, first it won't help my vision.  If it would I could get glasses that would help, my eyes just don't focus.  The other reason is that my husband and I switch cameras at events and that would throw him off.
The autofocus has been very good to me.  Once in a great while it will focus on the wrong part, but the little red boxes tell me where it is focusing at.  I also focus in the center and then reposition to get the crop I want if the subject isn't supposed to be in the center.  I know that's all common sense, but I just wanted to say it works for me.

It all depends on what wrong with your eyes... you can correct myopia and hyperopya with the diopter control. And glasses really dont do anything differnt than what your diopter control does. Myopia and hyperopya just mean that your focus is not in the retina, but either closer or farther. Astigmatism is something differnt, it means that you may focus in one direction more than in the other. I belive there are no eyepieces to correct astigmatism tho...

As for me, i have myopia and a slight astigmatism. I can see alright with the diopter control, but i still trust the AF. I find unconfortable to use glasses.

I thought a broken focus was what happened when a race car driver ran into the wall... REALLY FAST!!!

I got contacts when I started getting serious in photography because I was never comfortable looking through the camera with them on.  No real issue, just uncomfortable.  I also do some photography and a lot of staring through binoculars in less than desirable weather, and I get tired of trying to see anything through water spots on my glasses.  So, I still use them and it works fine, but I prefer to shoot with my contacts in.

I have a little bit of an astigmatism, and have for a while.  Last time I went to the eye doc, a couple of years ago, he told me that he could write a script but it would be for the very lowest adjustment they could make.  When I went yesterday I was expecting him to tell me that it had just gotten worse.  Turns out my eyes were at 20-40 and I need to wear glasses pretty much all the time.  Plus the astigmatism, although he did tell me that most people who have issues with their eyes have an astigmatism to some degree. 

I tried contacts for the first time about a montha ago. No dice. My eyes were a little sensative to them which would probably go away over time. But because I have big hands and a little smaller than normal and deep set eyesockets (no I don't look like neanderthal) it was a real pain to try to get them in and out. I finally gave up after it hurt more to get them in and out than it did wearing them. Back to glasses. My doctor did say that I was a realy good canidate for laser surgery though and we have one of the best eye centers in the country in Houston for doing the surgery. So I may plan on that in the next year or two.

As far as using a camera with glasses. I've had to wear them since I was ten years old and probably before that we just never checked. I don't have a problem using them together because I always have, it's all I know. I do use the AF quite a bit because I don't trust my vision much.

I have an astigmitism as well (bad one + I'm nearsighed...but I'm losing that now and am starting to need reading glasses with my contacts!) I tried the toric lenses in college. I ripped one and was so upset that I'd spent $80 on this lens that ripped! (it's probably cheaper now...we're talking 1984 for college.) I've worn hard gas permeable lenses for the past almost 25 yrs. I recently got my eyes checked and the dude said I my eyes were in amazingly good shape for having worn those contacts for that long. My vision has stabilized with the hard lenses. (rx hasn't changed in years vs. when I wore glasses it changed annually). http://photoartsforum.com/index.php?action=search

Just my experience. I hope I never have to go to glasses. My correction with contacts is SOOOOO much better than with glasses! Although my glasses are current rx as well.
