I see. Might your astigmatism affect the clarity of the evf (=a bright light source) if you look at it with a naked eye?

It does have some effect but does not seem too bad.  Since my eyesight is marginal I find taking my glasses off and being able to easily see the whole EVF is better than leaving them on and having greater clarity.  The problem I have with the diopter seems to be there is some curvature of field where either the center or edges are sharp but not the whole EVF.  That is true for me with or without glasses.

I normally shoot raw and adjust WB, saturation and contrast later so I mostly rely on the EVF for focusing,  composition and exposure.  In particular I have always found it hard to judge WB with an EVF or LCD which is a big reason I gave up and shoot raw.
