Spectacles and Eyecups
Still, for about £4, why don't you give the item that you linked a go?

Lenses Digital: 50-200, 18-55 KAF: 28-80.
Lenses KA & K: SMC-KA f2.0, SMC-K f1.4, SMC-K f1.7 Tokina KA 28-70 , SMC Pentax 70-210 F4, Sigma KA 75-300 , Hanimex 500mm Mirror, and the Tamron Adaptall-2 stuff.
and then there's all the M42 kit, and the accessories ...
An alternative is to remove/lift glasses when taking a photo - you will need to set the dioptric adjustment on the rear of the viewfinder (to match your eyesight) but you may find this a more comfortable/natural solution.
Exactly what I do.
The only thing that bugs me is theoblong shape left on my glasses by the standard K200 eye piece!
K110+DA40, K200+DA35, K3 and a bag of lenses, bodies and other bits.
Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...
PPG entries.
if thats the case I take it use autofocus on an abject then adjust it so its crystal clear in the viewfinder?
The dioptric adjustment, I take is the little slider on the viewfinder?

No adjust it so the viewfinder screen ( markings ) itself is as sharp as possible. Have the lens out of focus on a white background or something.

Hi David, if you are thinking of the type Eye Cup in your link above, have a look at the JJC EP-2 22mm Rubber Eye Cup found them slightly better quality link
Hi Tom
This looks ideal if its big enough to limit light leakage around the spectacles, do you use this eyecup and do you wear glasses?
Regards David
I only wear glasses for reading but use the JJC Eye Cup all ways on the 600mm.
Quick comparison shot, JJC lower one.

Problems are;
Due to light leakage I cannot read information in viewfinder.
Light leakage causes incorrect metering and exposure.
Light leakage makes subject difficult to see amd focus on.
I have searched this Forum and the internet but cannot find anyone who makes an eyecup for Pentax cameras which are designed for spectacle wearers. I found this non-UK ebay item but am not sure if it's large enough for use with spectacles. http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-in-1-Eyecup-for-Canon-Nikon-Sony-Pentax-Olympus-DSLR-/...
Any suggestions home made or not very welcome.
My camera is a K7
