Hi James, it is possible to retrofit the spotmatic with a K1000 screen
(which is both brighter and does have a split-screen focusing aid).
This operation needs a competent repairman though, and not everybody
has heard about this nor are they willing to do such a swap (it needs
focus recalibration).

The split-aid should work regardless of eyesight, however, to be effective
you must see it well.

Good light,
