Sorry to hear about your eye problems, hopefully it can be controlled.
I presume you already have a bottle etc so won't need filling equipment, the rifle part is easy - get a HW100 in whatever calibre/length/stock type you prefer. I would suggest a 177 HW100kt, the carbine with thumbhole stock which, for me, balances and handles better than the other options.
The nv device is not so easy and does depend on how your sight problems affect you. Are you ok with a scope or would a screen be a better option? Would you want an off the shelf solution or prefer to self build? Is the use only night vision or do you want day use as well?
The simplest solution would be a Photon plus a suitable torch and some modified flip ups to help with day use and cut down the brightness through the eyepiece. If you wanted to go the add on route then a decent scope plus a self build based around a suitable Sony camera and the better definition 5" screen would work well. A reasonable commercial add on might push the total budget a bit too far.

I love this country; it's the damn government I'm afraid of!
