I wear progressive bifocal glasses.....  My right eye ( my VF eye) is far
sighted.

MY experience ( and YMMV) shows that focusing with these lenses requires me
to find the "sweet spot" of the area of the bifocal that works for me at
that moment in time and at that elevation and cocking my head to see my
scene.......... sometimes things are nice and sharp and easy to see through
the VF, and other times, it just does not happen.

You learn to move your head relative to the eyepiece.... so that you can see
through the VF with some degree of clarity.

Not ideal, but the best I have been able to have happen.

I also have a +1 diopter that I need to try out... this could mean that each
time I use the VF, I would need to remove the glasses.. a real PITA....  But
sometimes it is the better solution......

This is overcome to some extent by progressive bifocals, which have a
graduated correction as opposed to 2 or 3 fixed ones.
