what you describe is long sightedness or hypermetropic vision for which they need convex lenses. a contact with nearby optician should aid them.
The best reading aid for people with low vision is a strong bifocal and lots of extra light in the reading area. Learn how magnifying glasses may ...
I am 24 and I have monocular vision. Lost most of my sight more than 10 years ago. I survived by feeling my way through. My functioning eye is very astigmatic. I am not using any low vision aid of any kind. I have multi-focal lenses as my eye is very astigmatic. However, it is very difficult for me to read at close range because the lense is sensitive to distance. I work with a computer with bare eye. The best I can do is magnify the screen by zooming it. I read very close to the monitor(my face only about 3-4 inches from the screen)
I know that at some point, I may go totally blind. I want to delay that as much as I can. I worry about straining my eyes too much but what can I do?
Have you seen an eye doctor who specializes in low vision? If your eye doctor hasn't helped you much with this, you may want to ask for a referral to someone who deals more with low vision patients. (You can also call other local optometrists and ask them about what they do for low vision.) It sounds like you are struggling more than you have to because there are numerous gadgets and devices that can help you maximize your remaining vision.

Devices that can help you cope with vision loss - WAAYTV.com ...
Large-print books and magazines have been around for awhile. But as the population ages, more devices are being introduced to help people with failing eyesight. There are tools to help you cook, watches with high-contrast markings or checkbooks with bolder lines. Most people with vision loss could benefit from a mix of aids, depending on their needs.
Magnifiers can help you with reading, looking at pictures or diagrams, or checking the small print on a pill bottle or label. They may come in the form of a dome that you place over a map or print, or a handheld magnifying glass. Some are equipped with lights.
Another option is a microscope - a magnifying lens mounted in spectacles or a headband. Special lamps for the sight-impaired can also provide better lighting and contrast for reading or close-up work.
