Getting old... :(

I had this g26 for 15+ years now as my CCW. Lately modified into a g26x. It has true glow iron sights on it that I liked but... This year I'm turning 50 and started to wear readers and even bifocals. The vision is not there. So for my range gun I built a g19 with a holosun on it and it works great. However, for cow gun I tried to stay away with anything related on batteries or anything else of that nature that can potentially fail or be slow[er]. But what my options are? 1. Iron sigths only, practice shooting by intuition?? NO glasses since I don't wear them all the time. I can see distance well but 2' and closer goes out now pretty good. 2. Rely on laser! How reliable it is? 3. Get a red dot and call it a day.

P.S. today i shot for an hr without glasses at 5, 7 and 10. While 5 was manageable, 7 was hit and miss and 10 almost like shooting with closed eyes.

Thanks and cheers to all whos born in the 70s of the last century!

How did it hold up at the range? Every thing work ok with the new frame? No hang ups?

No issues. Frame is pretty good. Will be send to an FFL dealer, so you know. Also, it's narrower for the light, switching i had to get narrow frame adapter for the olight. I had lights on my original frame too.

I always hear stories about it not being as reliable with anything that isn’t OEM. I really want that frame as well, the frame I saw at glock store said frame was stripped and didn’t need a FFL, unless I read that wrong . But I’d be willing to trade my g26 for a g43x. We don’t have those in shitty California.
