Because your glasses (prescription or reading) are configured to correct your "far" sighted vision deficiency. Even though the scope is located at a very close distance to your eye, the point your scope is focusing to/at is many? yards in the distance. If you're like many of us, you can see satisfactorily at a distance, but your arms aren't long enough to allow you to read a magazine?
One possibility that you can correct:
The eyepiece (viewfiender) diopter is out of adjustment for your eyesight.
Look at the viewfinder and locate the "slider".
Now look through the eyepiece (viewfinder) while in auto-focus mode.
Adjust the slider, left or right, until the image looks sharp to you.
If you wear corrective glasses, you can adjust the diopter whether you use your glasses or not.
This solution assumes that you are shooting in auto-focus; however, this also works in manual mode.

This is more common than you would think.. Here's how to set up a pair of binoculars to suit yourself. Any good binocular will be able to do this and the reason is to allow you to adjust them for the difference in strenght between your two eyes. I wear glasses myself and sometimes contact lenses so it's good to be able to quickly adjust them.
1. turn the binoculars over so you are looking at the underside. 2. on the eyepieces can you see on one eye(usually the right eye) a little plus - minus marking. The eyepiece should be able to rotate a little to each side of this marking. 3. Set the rotating eyepiece to the middle setting. 4. Look through the binoculars as normal and bring the two sides together until you form the two circles that you see into one. 5. Pick an object app 10 meters away. 6 Presuming that the adjustable eyepiece is on the right hand side then close your right eye, look at the middle distance object you chose with your left eye and use the central focusing knob/wheel in the middle to bring your left eyepiece into focus. 7. Now, close your left eye and adjust the rotating right hand eyepiece while looking at the same object until your right eyepiece is in focus. 8. The binoculars should now be set for the differences in strenght of your eyes and you can use the middle focus control as normal.
Most binoculars have a soft rubber eyepiece that can be folded back for people who wear glasses but I, like most people I know who wear glasses, find it horribly uncomfortable.
This method allows you to set them for yourself and if someone else uses your binoculars you can quickly reset them for you.

Hope this helps...
- Oh yeah, sorry, forgot to mention.. This set up is so you can use them without wearing your glasses.. Much more comfortable!!
you have a diopter next to the viewfinder. it's for
people who wear glasses, turn the small knob and it will focus what you see in the viewfinder. Green lines is your ccd - the sensor - the eye of the camera - see your local AUTHORIZED service center for repair of this issue
You should use also the dioptre adjustment. Especially if you're wearing glasses normally. Focus the unit with one eye closed first. Then adjust the other eye piece so that you see clearly.
Crazy glue will sometimes leave a white cloudy film on the glass surface. I've had good luck with www.binocularservice.com and they are very reasonable too.
Check your diopter adjustment. It should be a small wheel on the upper right of the viewfinder. It is designed so that people who normally wear eyeglasses can use the viewfinder without their glasses, but it can occasionally get bumped. If the diopter adjustment is way off, it is like looking through someone else's eyeglasses!
