I have the same problem, as does everyone of a certain age.
This is my answer. I don't intend to drill holes in that tang of a historic rifle so I look to the other part of the problem ME.
I have a pair of cheap glasses that are good for normal vision. I then cut a bit of sticky back,black, plastic to cover the lens of my shooting eye after that I pierced a very small hole in the plastic. The tricky bit is getting the hole lined up with your line of sight and of the size suitable for you, it will take a bit of experimenting.
The other way is to go to a specialist optician and get a very expensive pair of shooting specs made.
Good luck.
