I'm taking notes of all of these suggestions, lol. I'm 54, have done somekind of needle work for many, many years. My eyes are getting tired, too. I use my regular glasses plus a pair of magnifiers to applique now, who knows what's going to happen in a few years. Laser surgery? I'd go that route and expense before I'd quit sewing...

I find myself regularly using the needles with larger eyes for their size, I do cut my thread at a slant and sometimes use the white paper behind.
I have a needle threader on my machine, but I can only get it to work one time out of 4 so I do it the old fashioned way. I deliberately bend one of those little silver colored needle threaders and use them when the eye is too small.
These old eyes just don't work like they used to.
