No doubt. I have noticed as my vision has gotten worse that sometimes I just don't pay attention to what is in front of me. At times it takes a lot of effort to parse out the blurry image so I just let it all meld. In TV shows and movies where I used to study the background sometimes just turn into basically radio plays where I just get the gist of where the characters are, but don't have the energy to pay attention to details. This has also affected my reading. I am much more likely to search for a Youtube video or other audio explanation of a subject than read it myself - since again reading for long periods takes a lot more concentration when the text is blurry/shifting around. There is no way to wont lead to mental degradation over time.

Have you looked into correction vision, e.g., glasses or lens? I wear a pair and have minimal problems when wearing them. When they're off I would likely experience similar to yourself.

  I do wear glasses and they do help, but it is not enough. I just got new glasses couple months back. Everything is fine when I wake up, but as the day progresses (I guess) my eyes more tired and everything gets blurrier and blurrier.

Have you tried watching movies with audiodescription?

  No and it is not so bad (at least I don't think it is) that I can't see what is happening. It is like everything has this slightly shifting blurring on it, basically details go.

One issue with modern life is that we spend an awful lot of time focusing at fixed distances, bright screen in dark room etc. I learned two exercises in Yoga for getting the eyes muscles into shape. The first is basically focusing at different distances: tip of the nose, outstretched thumb, window in front of you, and a tree outside for example; then repeat the sequence back and forth. And the second tracing/exploring the border of your visual field using the thumb by moving it as far left/right/up/down as possible without losing sight of it while keeping the head still.
