NOT wearing prescription lenses and parallax

Hi guys,
When not wearing prescription lenses (because it’s more comfortable), is parallax compromised? I have already adjusted the diopter properly to account for my eyes without glasses and note that I still see some wiggle between target and reticle when moving my head but I don’t know if I just need to fine tune the parallax knob more or if there is an acceptable level of movement.
 
You need to adjust parallax some more...

Best technique for adjusting parallax...is to put the scope on infinity and have it pointed at the sky --- But not the sun.

Are you talking about diopter setting? That’s different than parallax. If you want to get focus and parallax to be the same, you can try the approach of dialing out parallax using the stationary rifle and moving your eye technique then look through the scope focusing your eye on the target image then adjust diopter until the reticle comes into focus with the target image at the same time. Diopter setting might be different with and without prescription lenses though.
