If you are far sighted, reading glasses from the drugstore are the
same as diopters when using a waist level finder. Pick a pair that
allows you to focus on the matte screen when you are holding the
camera at your waist. If you are near sighted, your ophthomologist or
optometrist can give you a prescription for a specific focusing
distance like your waist. At least one older photographer I know of
has four different prescriptions in his bifocal photography glasses
and mentally switches eyes depending upon the distance.
