Ghostly

Hi,
I'm 50 odd. For the past 10 years or so my reading vision has been getting worse. Since 2 years ago I'm experiencing difficulty in reading books. Went to the opticians a year ago (between xmas and new year) and had eyes tested. Now I have reading glasses. But my close up vision is still getting worse. 6 months ago I could still read my kindle without glasses, but now in the past few weeks my unaided vision when reading gets all bleary after a while. Also I get slight ghosting with vision in right eye.
Also, in the past month or so, I sometimes am having difficulty distinguishing the comma from the full stop on my keyboard (again not wearing any specs). The symbols are white text against a black background. Getting slight ghosting when looking at the full stop. It's there in my left eye as well as my right, but even milder.
Was diagnosed with astigmatism a year ago in one of my eyes (or both). But I haven't experienced difficulty in distinguishing a comma from full stop before on keyboard. But my unaided reading sight is getting worse all the time!
Ghosting disappears with squinting. Not generally there on putting on reading glasses, although might have noticed a very slight ghosting with glasses on the other day.
Do people think I should go to the opticians again?
