You may want to look at Ocutech. Think of glasses that are more like
telescopes. We found out about them at the Feinbloom center in
Philadelphia USA. 215-276-6060

They cost about &1500 US. They enable a lot but reading is not
enhanced for my son's. You may be able to decrease the magnification to
enable wider viewing for reading. My two sons use it for distance
viewing like looking at a chalk board.
Arizona USA lets people drive with it.
