I use a Nikon D3200/D5100 with the DK-20 eyepiece and wear glasses. Because my glasses keep my eye farther from the viewfinder, I can’t see the full frame comfortably. Is there an alternate eyepiece or accessory that works better for glasses wearers?

I've found that something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Hoodman-Glasses-Hoodeye-Eyepiece-Cameras/dp/B007NKPSFW tends to do the job.
It's really just a simple idea. An enlarged eyepiece to cover the eyeglass lens. I bet it wouldn't be to hard to fashion something yourself. :D

Yes. A larger rubber eyepiece designed for glasses wearers can help by covering more of your eyeglass lens and making the viewfinder easier to use. One example mentioned was the Hoodman HoodEYE for glasses wearers. The basic idea is simply an enlarged eyepiece that gives better contact around the eye area when wearing glasses. If you don’t want to buy one, a similar solution may also be possible as a DIY modification.
