Frank,
I think I could have explained myself better. It seems that diopters are
available if needed. On the subject of IBIS it would have been nice to have but
is not a deal breaker for me. Given that you can get away with slower speeds
with wide angle lenses I think it will be ok.
The frustrating thing for me is trying to look through viewfinders without
glasses, and then putting glasses on to check settings……bottom line is that my
eyes are getting older and things that I once took for granted are not as easy
as they once were. ☹

Image Stabilisation is not about using tele lenses, but about expanding
your photographic options when there is less light available (and using a
tripod isn't possible).
Faster lenses are only partially a compensation for image stabilisation.
So for me it is a deal breaker too, and I'd prefer IBIS over lens based
image stabilisation for obvious reasons.
I love my 9-18mm and I am sure IBIS helped to save many low light shots
with it.
