There could be several things to cause and help. I struggle with this too. Hit me about 3 years ago.

I recently had glasses made for bow hunting. They help but are not a 100 percent solution. You get your prescription then you have the lenses yellow tinted to amplify light.

I find adding a very small amount of light on my pins helps. Too much and you'll have issues, it's got to be the slightest amount to illuminate the pins, just enough to see with a naked eye. I shoot Spott hogg grinders and they have a small screw light that attaches to the sight, uses 1 hearing aid battery.

Also I would consider changing peep size too, it may help. I went to a larger peep and thinner sight housing to facilitate a clearer sight picture. Im not knocking that ez sight, I've heard people like it, my pins are mental for me at this point, would be a tough adjustment.

Here is where it really sucks. Ive developed a cross eye dominance. While I used to always shoot with both eyes open, I'm having to close one eye to get the sight picture lined up and make an accurate shot. The solution is to patch one eye for 3-4 months to correct this. Shooting with one eye closed with child molester looking glasses is not as bad as having to patch my eye for 4 months at this time.
