Simon,
I'm not an optician either (nor do I play one on television) but I
do where glasses. I don't see any difference between jamming my glasses on
my face up against the eyepiece vs cutting out a central portion of the lens
and inserting it in the eyepiece. Just be careful...don't press too hard
against the rear glass element...I'm told it is very delicate.

I don't think old glasses will work.
I'm not an optician, nor do I even particualarly understand lenses, but
I think the focussing system already has lenses in it, such that the
ground glass focussing screen *appears* to be about 6' from the eyepiece
(rather than the 2" that the light actually travels!). So dioptric
correction is a little more complicated as there are other lens
alterations to take into consideration.
A good optician should be able to advise.
Regards,
Simon
