I personally wear bifocals. I take them off when using the
microscope, to allow my eyes to get close enough to see the full
field of view. It just shift the optimum focus for me, from what's
optimum for my tech. Not a big issue.
That approach does not, of course compensate for astigmatism, so
if you have significant astigmatism you might do better with
glasses on.

I always had +2d astigmatism in both eyes. A nice gift from my
father (instrument maker), 50 years ago, was an astigmatic
correction lens for my camera's ocular so I could take pictures
without glasses but still with sharp and full field vision. It was
made to screw in the eye-shield thread on top of the ocular.
A set of lenses in that shape and size should fit on a microscope
ocular. But where to obtain them, given an eye correction recipe?
