If you have distance glasses that work well and a quality scope with an adjustable diopter then adjust your diopter and your good to go.
The only other thing I can think of is if you're not square on the rifle then you may not be looking through the best (center) of your glasses and you might need to ask to get a pair made where the prescription is optimized higher in the lens.
But before I would do that I would make sure that I could not solve the problem by improving my position. That could require higher rings and a higher cheek piece.

It's more than just diopter.
Depending on magnification, and maybe aspheric correction, you need to know where the optical CENTER of the lens is.
Not for normal vision but the center when on the scope.
You can use a gummed paper asshole, about 6mm hole, to find where your eye be pointing when lined up to fire.
Take an eyeglass frame style you will be using, stick the paper ring so you can see through it without moving.
Take those to the eyeball guy.
Or, make one of these with a larger see through hole.

How did the trip to the eye doctor go?
@Rocketvapor , thanks for asking. It went very well. I got to see the OG Dr vs his son who he sold his practice to. Dr Rex only works a few days a week. Anyway. I would highly recommend this practice if you need anything more than basic glasses.
The Dr said I have a lot going on with astigmatism, needing corrective lenses and a few other things. All pretty normal stuff for someone approaching 60. It makes getting lenses hard . they can get lenses cut with the reading part up at the top. Think about bifocal glasses rhat are upside down.
The trick is finding a lenses that will fit my face and not have the frame in the way when I'm on the gun. Still don't have it lined out yet. Hope to fit back there this week and get this done. Im not super hopeful though, they did not have a lot of frame choices that seemed to go high enough not to be in the way.

I'm tempted to rake the gun with me and see what we can do. They have done this before for other folks.
