I use glasses with my Nikon Monarch 8x56. These (heavy) binoculars
have a pretty deep eye relief, and also have screw-down eye cups, so I
never screw them out, just leave them where they are. This way I can
hold the bins to my glasses, and the deep eye relief allows me to
still see the whole field. After a day's birding my bins get pretty
grotty though, with lots of cup-prints on them.
It depends on what your eye problem is, though. Many people with
simple long- or short-sight can take off their glasses when viewing
through bins, and adjust the focus accordingly. If you're like me,
and have a pretty bad astigmatism, that's not an option, as you can't
correct for that in the bins.
I wouldn't think that multifocals would be any good while using bins.
