Reading glasses seem to be optimized for a limited usable distance range. The higher power glasses focus better at closer distances, while the lower power ones focus easier a bit further away. You want to find one that works well at the distance for your hood. You may also want to invest in one of those elastic bands that hold the glasses to your head, so they don't fall off when you're looking down.
It's fun getting old. New challenges await.
