Definitely eye test. If you don't want to spend the money get a free one (Tesco opticians for example), then get some cheap (reading) glasses on the interweb.Eye test ? Mine started going a few years ago and now I need them for everything. Just a sign of age.
I use a 'Magnifier' app on my Android smart phone for the few occasions reading glasses won't help. Cheaper than chips. Free actually. And it's always with me...
I still have to use a magnifying glass for somethings, usually due to small text in poor light or little contrast between letters and background.
Those three (especially the glare) can point to cataracts. If you are diagnosed with those, get them sorted right away. Don't listen to advice to wait until they get worse and 'affect your life'.

I'm fine for cataracts etc. one of the great things about having generally bad eyesight is you get it checked regularly. London is a little far for an appointment as well. The thing that bothered me about my last test was they couldn't get my left eye blur free, too shortsighted but it was ok cos it was still working with my right eye. Seemed a bit odd but they didn't seem concerned. Joys of age.
Nothing they want to do at this stage. They'd rather pay for it later than now. I had to go almost blind before I had surgery. Mind you, mine went downhill rather quickly...I've been told I have the very start of a cataract. Nothing of any concern at present and nothing that can be done at this stage anyway.
