I am having similar problems, and, in my case, the problem seems to be developing cataracts. These can be corrected by surgery and lens implants. (My wife had the surgery several years ago, and sees much better than I do.) I have not reached the point of urgent treatment yet, but it seems to be fast approaching. Be sure to ask your doctor to rule this in or out, during his examination. Best of luck.
