Thanks.

Thanks for the input Russel. My astigmatism is -2.25 - I have not found a limit where I don't notice not having them on (but am new so have not explored). I often have kids looking after me, so I think not wearing will lead to more focus changes and I suspect I would not like the on and off again thing.

I would not have realised the cups pull off - thanks. The lenses look pretty exposed to scrapes without the cups, but I will give that a go.

Cheers.

If you just hold the eyepiece by the chrome barrel and pull the rubber eye shield it will come off completely.

I think your LV25mm would give you about x80 in your LX90 with an exit pupil of around 2.5mm (assume F10 200mm), my astigmatism is -1.25 in my observing eye and I find that the astigmatism not really noticeable once the exit pupil gets down to that sort of size, but obviously I don't know how bad your astigmatism is.
