Sure. The Bessa III /GF670 takes regular Voigtländer diopters. I'd be surprised if the Mamiya 6 didn't take diopters.
If we're talking non-RF then the Hasselblad also takes diopters (on both the prism finder and the waist level finder).

on the slr front so too does bronica and both mamiya rotating back systems.

Just about every modern 6xwhatever rangefinder does.
But few pre 1960 folders did - the Super Ikonta B/BX has the same (threaded) eye piece as the Contax II, but corrective eyepieces for the latter are as rare as hen's teeth. The Makina II/III did, but their eyepieces must be even more rare...
Of course, on older cameras with their low complexity finder systems, modifications are trivial and nothing would stop you from disassembling a finder and replacing the eyepiece glass with one with one of your choice ...

the bessa/fuji makes a lot of sense: nikon eyepieces fit my bessa r2m; ergo, they should fit the bessa/fuji 120 RF. thanks to you all.

The Fuji 6x9s take the can use Nikon FM/FE eyepieces. There not 6x6, but are very nice cameras.

Hasselblad has an impressive array of corrective lenses available, even used.

Film is the other way
lots of them have "insert-able" diopters so check your camera and do a search to determine if they are available. Some generic diopters may be adaptable to other cameras.
Finally a TLR usually has a flip up magnifier this is also a great help for those with glasses.
Good luck Paul!

Mamiya 6 takes push-in rectangular correctives that are often found on eBay.

The HC-4 viewfinder for my Hasselblad as a continuously adjustable (and lockable) diopter adjustment. That is certainly 6x6. Also the standard look-down viewfinder has a flip-up magnifier.

Here is a picture of the viewfinder on the camera:
Hasselblad 500C/M with an HC-4 prism viewfinder, a Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm f/2.8 T* CF lens, and a Markins P60H Arca Plate on a Induro AT313 tripod with a Really Right Stuff BH55 Ball Head and Arca Mount
