Glaucoma and double coloboma??

I have glaucoma and double colobomas(blind spots on the optic nerves on either eye) and one these problems have been getting in the way. I head down to the doctors for a check up on the pressure in my eyes and I think they'd probably wabt to check out the coloboma since its been awhile. Lately I've been having trouble reading fine and regular(text book/novel) print. It gets a bit hard to split the words apart from the word next to it. Like, its gets jumbled in my head but I physically see it as straight sentences. It gets hard to see but not really blurry. I hold whatever it is I'm trying to read closer so I can single out the word, sentence, or phrase I beed to find. I strain my eyes so bad that I have to lay my head down to prevent a headache. I'm going to ask about reading glasses when I go see the doctor, but in the mean time, what should I do? I have no time to take breaks from reading as I have many assignments to do all on paper, book, and computer all due in less than 4 weeks. Is there any kind of "exercise" I can do? Please help, and thank you in advance.
