Suggest Treatment For Presbyopia And Dry Eyes

I have presbyopia and dry eyes. I have a horrible time trying to put in soft contact lenses (on a trial basis to determine if I can handle using them). the doctor suggested monovision lenses or surgery. I have great distance vision. would gp lenses multivision, hard lenses be a better option. I don't like things in my eyes to begin with. I currently wear 1.75+ readers but get so tired of taking them off and off depending on looking near or far.
