As long as ordering internationally doesn’t bother you, try https://bigatmo.com/. I have found these people to be exceptionally knowledgeable, helpful and prepared to go the extra mile to meet your needs. They’re definitely worth discussing your requirements with. They specialise in aviation glasses, with both company principals having a long and ongoing association with commercial aviation. Not only that, they’re bloody good people too!

I personally have 2 pairs of their multi-focal glasses (one pair sunglasses, one pair clear spectacles) both pairs are the same prescription. They are fantastic in the cockpit in all environments. The frames are comfortable and robust, well beyond what I experienced with other “premium” eye wear. I couldn’t imagine being without them now. The sunglass lenses particularly have been formulated specifically for aviation and are superb.

Prior to these glasses, I wore contact lenses for many years and tried all the usual suspects for sunnies… RayBan, Randolph, Serengeti etc. These Bigatmo lenses are at least the equal of any of those.

IMO it’s definitely worth the effort of dropping them a line, at least. They’ll give you rock-solid, experienced advice at a minimum.
