Starting stages of retina damage myself, which started coming to a head about 2 years ago... Not sure about corrective lenses, but as you are already using a book reader that can change the text size, that's a good start. Would also look into devices that have integrated text to speach. Not sure what to offer beyond that other than empathy.
Some critiques of what I've noticed in the past couple years. Scalable UI/UX is generally hit or miss, I absolutely hate applications that don't scale, and more so platforms that don't scale (steam deck, I'm talking to you here). Too many apps in Android don't respect font/text size settings. Too many websites use tiny little font settings and don't scale at all. I've gotten pretty good with triple-tap to zoom on my phone.
Low contrast text sucks beyond believe, it's really bad when I can't read the CC# on a physical card because it's really low contrast text.
Aside, I'm still able to work, though on a 32" 1440p display, I still have to zoom in/out a lot as my vision quality varies throughout the day quite a bit. I'm frankly terrified as I'm not sure what I'll be able to do with work should my vision get much worse... I'm working as a contract very sr/lead/staff/architect level, but less productivity with many dr appts every month, and current job wrapping Thursday. It's frankly hard enough to get up in the morning and I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
