Shoot a couple mags and take a few minutes break. Pace. Over time you will be able to shoot longer strings. Breath lots and deeply. Lack of oxygen will fatigue your eyes quickly. And your muscles obviously. But eyes fatigue quick. I found squinting my non dominant eye for a couple seconds then relaxing helps my dominant eye regain focus as well. Try to look at your shots after your mag is empty. Don’t worry about placement until then. This will keep your eyes from hunting for focus so much. I hope some of this helps.

Sure, I could do a bit of rifle with optics in between, for example. I stuck a Dremel grinding disc as an aperture on my glasses to see if a pinhole works. Combat shooting is likely to be a different game, for all I know. I bought reading glasses for work yesterday for the first time, I could barely read the screen around 5pm.
Anyway, if I could get target focus to work, I would.
Edit: The pinhole worked pretty well, a Dremel sandpaper circle. Lenses worked a bit, I mixed some reading glasses and long distance glasses to get a sharper front sight blurrier target. Targets that don't block the sight picture are a bit help, I printed some out.

I use separate prescriptions for rifle, pistol iron sight precision shooting.
I can get away with my regular everyday progressive prescription glasses for a short time and short distances, but for competition I need proper prescription for the match.
Iris always help too.
Prescription to see the front sight clearly and the iris to get the depth of field large enough to make the target into a a slightly out of focus defined shape instead of a blob (circular targets)
