What Causes Weakness In Legs Along With Blurred Vision?
I have difficulty standing up from a squatted or kneeling position as well as occasionally walking up stairs. My legs feel very weak when trying to do this. I have also been having a lot of vision problems lately including blurred and double vision. I am 49 years old.

Dear patient
At this age onset of knee osteoarthritis is there and which leads to decreased walking and hence muscle weakness . Blurred vision might be due to onset of presbyopia. So visit ophthalmologist and get correction of refractive error with near vision spectacles. You require physiotherapy for both lower limbs in form of quadriceps and hamstring strengthening excersise on daily basis for a week from physiotherapist and then at home on regular basis.
