heightening blurry vision & light hededness

[joanie07]

My situation has progressively worsened.  My vision becomes blurry and I become 'light headed' walking on streets, especially busy streets, in malls, in supermarkets,etc.  Some days the problem is worse than on others. While driving, while on the computer and while reading I frequently find myself involuntarily closing the right eye. The condtion is lasting longer periods of time - up to over two hours.  I used to develop this condition for short periods of time, sporadially  when I wore contact lenses.  At that time when I removed the lenses the condtion would self correct rapidly.  I now wear bifocals which gives me better vision but the frequency and duration of the blurry vision and accompanying light headedness last far longer.  
I have tried medication for migraine headaches but that did not solve the problem.  I also had an MRI of the brain and an EEG neither of which showed a problem.  I am 65 years of age. Doctors have told me that my eyes do not always track together - but that would not be a new condtion.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Your problems suggest that your eye tracking problems (likely exophoria or esophoria) is getting worse. See an Eye MD ophthalmologist. Find one at www.aao.org

If possible see an Eye muscle specialist (strabismus or Pediatric ophthalmologist).
