Eye glasses and contact lenses help bring things out of focus in focus. Would it be possible to develop some type of eyewear that allows the eyes to see the peripheral as clear as it does central vision? Would the brain be able to process the additional clear images at once?

No; the limitation on resolution is based on the packing and distribution of different kinds of photoreceptors on your retina (+ degree of signal pooling). Using a mirror, you can reflect light from the periphery to fall on the fovea which has the densest packing of cones which are used for detailed vision, but you're still limited by retinal area. Placing a lens or mirror in front of the eye can only focus or redirect light to a particular part of the retina; it doesn't help with processing of the signal.
