I found that its not that easy either! One thing I have tried is: with the
50mm lens on the camera body for an approx. actual size image, I look at
something at mid-distance (across the room?) through the camera, pointing it
so it overlaps what I can see through my 'free' left eye, and then alternate
between 'concentrating' on what I can see with each eye.
One thing that tells me, is if there's any discomfort from refocusing my eyes
between what's in the viewfinder and what's outside.

I get just the same 'problem' since I don't need to wear spectacles (yet).
It's easy to get the dioptre setting 'wrong' and end up straining your eyes a
bit.
[A guy sent me a free spare -5 dioptre correction lens with a consignment of
other OM gear recently. When I tried it for curiosity, it looked to me like
the focusing screen had retreated a mile away! I could just about focus on
it, but not without effort! I removed it straight away, to try to avoid
getting an instant headache.]
Kind regards,
