Thank you @DogBunny, I've been to an optometrist and he gave me referral to an ophthalmic surgeon. There's more than one problem with my visual system, it's not just a case of buying the right pair of specs and it's difficult to find an appropriate therapy. Looked at the results from googling eye stretches and I think I probably do a few of those exercises already. Will continue to do eye exercises.I'd have to write a small book.
You really need a thorough evaluation and then therapy specific to your results. Conducted by a Vision Therapist, not a plain-Jane ophthalmologist.
Having said that, there are tons of on-line tools and videos. Google vision therapy and your condition.
Also, Google "eye stretches." Everyone can benefit from them.

Above link shows a small fraction of vision therapy tools.
I would see if there is a Vision Therapist in your area. In all of Austin (11th largest U.S. city) there are only a small few.Thank you @DogBunny, I've been to an optometrist and he gave me referral to an ophthalmic surgeon.

But today, beautiful sunshine, rode Polly, W800, down to Berwickshire to visit a stone supplier, 60 mile round trip. While my vision is not correct, it's good enough to enjoy the ride and didn't frighten meself. Much.
I'm highly offended. My feelings are hurt. Wah wah wah.I may be the record youngest member of this forum at 19 going on 20… any challengers?
On the bright side all you geezers (no offense) have much, much more wisdom about these bikes than I do and it’s a great help.
Does any part of this therapy involve going for a walk on a nice day with my glasses left at home? I’m definitely going to follow your link.I would see if there is a Vision Therapist in your area. In all of Austin (11th largest U.S. city) there are only a small few.
If there is one in your area, I would take that as a sign that you should have them evaluate you.
Medicare paid a lot of mine, but it was still pretty expensive.
I never knew there was a such a thing as vision therapy, and wish I'd known and started a lot earlier.

As long as you can still hobble, you can improve. I consider myself evidence of that.I don't walk anywhere, I hobble

What is it they say, "Everything in Moderation"
You have no idea how close to home this hits, the first part anyway, hopefully not the later.
When people apologize because they think they hurt my feelings I just tell them they can’t hurt my feelings cuz I’m married…I'm highly offended. My feelings are hurt. Wah wah wah.
Wait, no I'm not. It's gonna take a whole lot to hurt feelings I don't have.
My youngest (a daughter) and I are very close and can razz on each other pretty much without limit. When I get in a real zinger, she usually says "Ya know, that'd hurt my feelings, if I had any..." And trust me, she gives as good as she gets. Apples and trees, ya know...When people apologize because they think they hurt my feelings I just tell them they can’t hurt my feelings cuz I’m married…
