You could try Mono-Vision contact lenses. Just plain old regular lenses but a near lens in your sighting eye and a far lense in your other eye.

Takes some getting used to at first but Mrs Infool7 and I threw all of our cheaters away since we did. Never going back. Everything is always in focus now. No more old scratched dollar store cheaters all over the place. No more squinting looking over them to read and hold a conversation. I can drive and see the speedometer or radio controls and read distant road signs in the same glance. Never struggle to read tiny print on labels or smartphones again. It’s like having the vision when I was 25 again.

Try it, just a few hours a day at first, stick it out for a whole month(I gave up too soon the first time I tried it) and thank me later.

For driving, I chose the bifocal approach. I went out to the car at the opticians with a felt tip and model glasses. From the drivers seat I drew a line across the lens at the point of the dashboard, which is where the bifocal becomes blurry. So above that point is perfectly clear distance and below that point is perfectly clear instrument panel. It took a little convincing them to make them that way, but I always do it now.

I wore Mono-Vision for a few years and went to Bi-Focal contacts. I've been wearing them for over thirty years now. They are great. I had trouble in grocery stores and basketball games with mono-vision. I see much better with Bi-Focal. I went to someone who wore them himself and he really knew how to tweek my eyes.
