Some years ago when I was doing long wedding days my Optician had custom
lenses made for the Olympus eyecup. My prescription contains some prism to
compensate for eye muscle weakness so he had to make one for horizontal and
one for vertical orientation. I think they cost about $35 each but am not
sure about that. They work very well. My Ophthalmologist is going to retire
this winter and I hate to lose him. He is an avid photographer and is going
to retire to do much more of that. /jim

Find a new optometrist. Or better, an opthalmologist.
I had no difficulty getting a prescription tuned to any desired distance.
Specifically, I got one tuned to 18 inches (46 cm) for use with the computer
and other close work, and my wife got one tuned to 24 inches (61 cm) for
playing the piano. We have different opthalmologists, and neither had the
slightest difficulty. They have a test fixture with a sliding holder for
the eye chart. They set the eye chart at the desired distance, and go to
work.
