A couple of points about lenses and mountings:
The internally mounted lens is OK except that it must be disassembled for cleaning and indexing for astigmatism would appear to be a little tricky.
The astigmatic correction can vary slightly over time. With glasses you can quite easily rotate the lens slightly to achieve a better picture, this again is more difficult with the internally mounted lens.
If you are correcting for myopia it would be advantageous to have the lens closer to the eye than further away.
Eyesight can vary quite markedly with age. The older you are the more important it is that you have an eye test every 12-18 months. It is surprising the difference that even very early cataract development can make.
Many years ago very experienced coach told me that if you get to 40 and aren't wearing glasses for shooting then you probably should be.
