LOL- the problem has been Time and being in the right city. I also want to get the proper fit. Luckily I travel with TWO pairs of backups. The previous prescription and this pair made just for backup. I will likely not update this pair yet but the next time. I really am totally unable to function without glasses. In terms of diopters my worst eye was around -14 and had a +5 cylinder so effectively about -9.
To be fair, the magnifying eyepiece isn't being used for magnification. I may swap it with the older rubber eyecup only one I have to see which I really like best. The original purpose for buying the magnifying fitting was to help with manual focus but with my eyes I have not found that all that useful. I prefer liveview and focus peaking for that task when it is called for. (not that this is always accurate either...)

I have the magnifying eyepiece - I like it with glasses DESPITE it making it harder (not easier) to see the entire frame. The reason is that it sticks back farther from the LCD screen so being left-eye dominant I have less nose smashed up on the screen moments and less smear to remove. There are aftermarket add-on rubber eyecups that also do this and I'm still experimenting to determine what I like best. I'm currently using single vision due to a disaster where my multivision lens pair of glasses broke and I have been out of town for several weeks off and on so replacing them has been hard. My backup pair was made with single vision for cost reasons. (I can still pull them down my nose and function well - not too bad close up yet due to my crazy nearsightedness)
