Maybe you can try reading glasses? Seems like a step backwards to wear glasses again, but they are made to correct vision problems.

I can't convince myself to get LASIK or a similar procedure. I've been wearing glasses pretty much every day for more than 15 years too. Being a developer as well, I don't want to risk my sight. I know doctors will always tell you LASIK is a safe procedure, but there's always that small chance that accompanies even the safest surgical procedures, and glasses have worked every single day for 15 years.

I've had tests done twice, and both with same results: glasses wouldn't improve my vision. I wish I could wear glasses, even just for work, and improve my vision, but they don't seem to help.
