Like several others, I'll suggest going to an opthalmologist,
preferably one at a teaching hospital or medical school, for an
evaluation.
If you're in the U.S.--and, from your eddress, it appears as
though you are not--I think providing enlarged music for you to
read would constitute "reasonable accomodation" as discussed in
the Americans with Disabilities Act. However, I'm not a lawyer,
and I don't even play one on TV. <g> If your country has a
similar statute, orchestras may be required to give you a blown
up copy of the music at the first rehearsal.
Good luck.
