What you are asking for is almost available in devices or cameras. In many
models compensation is available for spherical refractive error.
Your approach is fundamentally correct. While not optimum, the lens can be
placed outside and adjacent to the eyepiece. Of course, you will have to
rotate the cylindrical lens or the combination to give best results. You
should be able to get lenses from Edmund Scientific or cozy up to an
optometrist to get ophthalmologic lenses.
