Eyesight problems are tough on photographers, and I am impressed with your persistence despite it. Here are a few suggestions: I had special bi-focals made, the top part is corrected for infinity, the bottom part is corrected for looking through a viewfinder. The doctor who examined me was an amateur photographer and understood exactly what I needed. These glasses are weird, you cannot see your feet in front of you, but they make short and sure work of your shot. I bought them years ago when I came back from a shoot with thirty rolls of out-of-focus film, (whenever possible, I use a view camera, and I never have problems with ground glass focusing) Nikon makes eyepiece adapters for some of their cameras, but these get mixed reviews on the several internet discussions that I have read, so try them before buying any of them, with all your lenses individually. I did buy one for Hassleblad, and what a good difference that made! Nikon makes alternative screens with larger rangefinder section in the middle, but it does not work on any lens longer than about 105mm in my personal experience (it blacks out) A Beattie screen for your Nikon would give you a whole F stop brighter view in your finder. Most big camera stores have a sample or demo camera that you can see for yourself. This is a process where the screen is coated with a luminous material, so probably any screen that a camera repairman can remove from a camera could be coated. I don't have any knowledge of how it would work on specific models of digital cameras. Best of luck with your photography! Tom Robinson
