As somebody who wears glasses, the biggest advantage of mirrorless is that you're not forced to hold the camera up to your eye.

As someone who wears glasses, I can use the optical viewfinder on my Nikon D850 without specs but need my glasses to use liveview, e.g. when shooting video. The D850 lets you set the viewfinder close to the prescription of your glasses.

DSLRs have live previews on the screens on their back, so that at least you don't need mirrorless for.

I like using the viewfinder though, and I like digital ones over optical ones.

Yeah but until much more recently, using the live preview on a DSLR meant you lost your fast AF.
