Also near-sighted and astigmatic, I used to get this until I spent the money on getting a decent headset magnifier, and it seemed to go away.
It was an old-school magnifier, like this one but even less modern without the swappable lenses.
I havent built that model but to answer your second question...Be cautious of build guides (or lack thereof). The one you linked has a really good guide. Step by step, clear pictures, and in color. So far, I've found Befaco, AI Synthesis, and Trogotronic to have really good guides.
Also, take your time. Its better to go slow and be sure of your work than rush. Tape! Tape helps me a lot by holding small pieces in place. If you can, get this circuit board holder. I got this magnifying headband for free (that style, not that specific one) and its been really helpful as well.
Here are my go to recommendations for beginners.
Trogotronic VCA
Trogotronic Power System
AI Synthesis
This is the one I use:

I like that it's a band (rather than having spectacle-like arms) so it won't fall off when you lean forward and that the tension of the band is easy to adjust using a knob on the back of the band.
