Caution: it may not always be so. Although I usually shot with glasses
off using my OM-1 and OM-2N - because of stray light, and because often
they were Polaroids - using my glasses I could always see the whole
viewfinder with a little bit of eyeball movement. Late last year
I got a new pair of glasses and can't use them at all with any of my OM's.
The script is almost the same, but the shape of the lens has changed.
Fortunately, I got contacts at the same time. My script is for +2 long
sightedness and astigmatism, and although they are thin the lenses have
a large curvature; I think this is called a meniscus lens.
The OM-4 is much harder to use with glasses, but I got mine after
the contacts. It has a dioptric adjustment, but that doesn't fix
astigmatism. To do that, or if your script is outside the range
of the dioptric adjustment, you can get a lens ground to fit into
one of the eyecups.
