Glasses

Getting presbyopia and I find some problems with wearing glasses with NVG’s.
I always had the goggles close and quite high( not possible to adjust them higher).
Even if I adjust them further forward (without loosing FOV) the part of my progressive glasses I see below are to strong for a sharp view of the instrument panel/MFD’s.
Maps/plates/checklists in the lap is ok, but not the instrument panel.
The first fix was to use a set of glasses with lower strength, but the increasing presbyopia makes this a bad idea today.
Change of lenses is not an option due to regulations
( but after retirement is is).
