Try on various strength glasses on top of your own reading glasses, try looking at various subjects very close to you, (your normal close working distance) until you find a strength that allow you to focus at that distance. This was a tip I got from an optician when I asked him if he could make me a pair of glasses for extra close up work, said he shouldn't be telling me this as he was doing himself out of a potential sale. I find them very useful when doing fiddly electronic component soldering. Don't forget to take them off when you finish the job or you might break your neck when you trip over the rug that you couldn't see!

Thanks again nirofo, I do have all sorts of gadgets now to help included 10x power magnifiers but it doesn't help not having any central vision, only periferal vision left. Its more difficult with close work. It won't be long before I will have start using the screen reader on the computer. I knew this could happen but not so soon. Its a good job I can sort of touch type otherwise you wouldn't be able to read this, so you will have to forgive me for any spelling mistakes, my mind works faster than my typing.
My photography is difficult, I have to use AF for everything now so when I get good sharp photos I am thrilled, thats why I don't post as many photos as I used to. I am still looking forward to the next new camera, hopefully in a few weeks, I still have to get more brownie points
