Is it possible to wear your glasses and use a SLR/DSLR?

Maybe i'm just a moron, but i can't manuever myself correctly to be able to look through my viewfinder with my glasses on...

Is there some technique im missing? Or should i just wear contacts when shooting?

With my camera I think contacts are needed.

You can probably buy an aftermarket eyecup for glasses use.

Eyepoint, also called eye relief: this refers to how far away from the eyepiece you can have your eye and still see the entire viewfinder image. Obviously, if you hold an SLR six inches from your face and look at the eyepiece, you can still see a portion of the image the camera is seeing. But you can only see a small portion of it, not the whole image out to the edges. As you move your eye in closer and closer, you see more and more of the viewfinder image, until you can see the whole thing at once. Eyepoint, usually specified in millimeters, is how close you need to get to see the whole viewfinder frame. "High eyepoint," a term coined and popularized by Nikon, means you can hold you eye fairly far away from the eyepiece and still see the viewfinder. It's useful for people who wear eyeglasses, since eyeglasses create a physical barrier between your eye and the eyepiece that keeps them a certain distance apart.
