I'll make it sailing related..... being nearsighted as well, I have 'split vision' contacts. One for reading (almost) and the other for distance. But, this screws up sighting the distance to marks, because the perspective is a bit off.
But, as you 'young 'uns' get a little older, the distance problem gets a bit better and the reading problem gets worse, so both of my lenses are getting a bit weaker which is helping the perspective problem, however, my reading problem is getting a bit worse. I dread the day when I won't be able to read the chart or chartplotter without reading glasses. Then, I may have to rethink this whole deal. In the meantime, I can get by with 'readers' from the store and 'regular' sunglasses. So, the losing problem is less costly (as I dump the sunglasses every so often into the drink or break them, and lose so many readers that I buy them in bulk). One on the workbench in the shop, one at my desk, one at the model boatbuilding bench in the basement and one by the TV, so I can read the listings and the fine print in the newspaper.

I'm 60 and near sighted. But I have to take my "distance only" glasses off to see close up. This works great for computer work, or print reading. I work as an HVAC Mechanic at a school and often loose the glasses at the end of the day. I usually find them above the ceiling tile or on a roll of prints. Today I hooked them in the neck of my uniform shirt, (no pocket) and they fell down inside the shirt to my waist.

This does not mean that the pair you actually need is in the exact time and place where you expect it to be, but at least you have a fighting chance.
