Have you looked into orthokeratology?

Basically, contact lenses you wear at night (which could perhaps be tolerable for you). Then, your vision stays fine during the day (mostly, it worsens gradually but it's manageable).

I don't use it myself but I have a relative that does and they love it.

The issue is getting the lenses in and out of my eyes. I simply can’t. I tried really hard for about 4 hours with a consultant and I think that I got it in successfully once, and she had to remove it for me while I held my eye open.
