When was your last eye checkup? Fluctuating vision can be a sign of a serious eye problem. I recommend having an ophthalmologist evaluate you because of this fluctuating vision acuity.

This needs to be evaluated by an ophthalmologist. There is not enough information in your question for an adequate answer.
