I am somewhat younger than you, but as my right eyes is rotated 7° compared to 
my left eye, it takes some mental power to avoid double vision. Ledger lines 
are the first element to loose safe reading.
One aspect of good readability is about setting music with so much horizontal 
spacing that ledger lines are not compressed into each other.
And then I use fairly fat lines and even fatter ledger lines. They work for me, 
but they are vulnerable if printed by ink printers on bad paper, so that there 
is a noticeable bleeding.
You may see a screenshot of my line and curve settings in the document options 
window here:

 Subject: [Finale] Darken staff lines
   
As a 85 year old, I'm having trouble sightreading notes on ledger lines. Is 
there any way to darken the 5 lines of the regular staves so that the ledger 
lines are a little more distinguishable?
Thank you for any help.
