I agree, it can't be right that eyesight can only be corrected for infinity.
I have just got a pair of specs to fix the problem I have focusing between 8
inches and 24 inches - it puts the 8 inch limit out to 24 inches so I now
have continuous focusing from macro through to astro. Works just fine.
Find another optician!

How in the world would he determine the prescription for reading glasses?
Bifocals? Trifocals?
Many pilots have trifocals so they can read the instrument panels.
Sometimes, they have an additional (quadfocal?) spot in the top of the
lenses for reading the overhead panels.
The typical trifocal mid-range lens is usually appropriate for viewfinder
correction.
My eyesight is the worst at 2-meters. Bummer, ain't it?
Fortunately a -1.0 diopter works wonders for me.
