I had an eyecup on my old Canon Elan IIe film camera. I also wear eyeglasses. There was a small advantage with using the eyecup concerning viewfinder brightness/contrast, but not a great deal. To me, it made it easier to really focus on the image in the viewfinder without the distracting light coming in from the side. But, it was not such a big improvement that I felt the need to purchase one for any of my subsequent digital bodies.
The more I think about it, and remember (it has been over 10 years ago!), maybe I used the eyecup with my eyeglasses in order that the eye-control focus would work better due to the reduced glare on the lens of my eyeglasses. Now I am missing the eye-control focus....LOL. I thought it was pretty cool.
