You should try to reduce the distance between your eyes and the finder
by reducing the distance of your glasses to your eyes, so you can
overview the complete finder (of an OM-4 or an OM-2SP which is the best
camera for people wearing glasses).
To do this use small diameter glasses.
Do not worry about your field of view it will be the same as with big
glasses, because big glasses have to be in a greater distance to your
eyes.
By doing this your glasses will also be ligther. Generaly big glasses
are only usefull for sunglasses (rest is just aesthetic).
Another recomendation is to use only glasses made of resins (plastics),
silicate glass breaks much easier and is a threat to your eyesight (I´m
speaking out of experiance).

The contact lens has normaly no contact to your eye it is swimming above
it.
I know the imagination to pooke around in your eyes with something is
the biggest obstacle to try out contact lenses. In fact, you should try
to avoid direct contact of your eyes. Proper adapted soft contact lenses
should have no contact to your eyes and are realy easy to get used to.

No wonder, after droping them on the carpet. Hygene is less a problem
with disposeable lenses, but you can live also with long lasting lenses
as I do, by regular cleaning them and your hands before touching them or
your eyes (don´t rub your eyes with dirty fingers).

Symptoms of chooseing the wrong contact lens types and not geting used
to there handling (because she rejected them)
