Settings to see enemies easier?
Are there any settings you can change to see enemies a little easier for someone getting old like me? (I use bloodhound.and seer because of my poor vision :D

I'm constantly adjusting my distance-to-screen. I sit anywhere from three to four feet away from a 55" tv. It's still a challenge, as you say, once past a certain age. And when you start to need bifocals (oh, it hurts to admit that) then it stops mattering whether I put on my glasses or not.
But I have to say, the more I play the game, the more I rely on knowing where enemies are long before seeing them. I'm not Daredevil or anything, but players in this game are shockingly predictable. That won't help with aim, but I can promise you: if you're paying attention then the more you play the more you know where to look and when. And 80% of the time they're on cue, on mark, ready to get shot at. It's kinda sad if you think about it.

You can try manipulate colors and contrast in program like AMD Adrenalin Panel.
Example:
The default setting for FOV in Apex is 70. I do not recommend anything from 90-110 as the higher this goes the smaller your enemies become and harder to see it is. I suggest 70 (default) to see your enemies better. Keep in mind if you play at a higher FOV, lowering it to 70 will affect your aim feeling, as it will feel more loose or like linear. You may have to lower your aim sensitivity one notch. Or leave it the same and go to firing range and just practice for awhile, within about 10 minutes you will get used to it and it will begin to feel normal.
I personally have no visual issues on KC, or Olympus or We. However, on sh*t point and Bowel Movement I have nothing but visual issues, get headaches, eyes water. I actually went for an eye test because I am an old man. Results were perfect so for me personally, those two maps are next to impossible for me to see on. I chalk it up as the foliage, color palate and saturation issues. I know others that also have no issues on the other 3 maps but also struggle to see on Storm Pi*s and Broken Map.
Take with a grain of salt. But give 70 FOV a go and see if that helps at all. Good luck.
@NickBeam27The headaches and eye strain comes from not blinking. The maps you mention have so much clutter it is understandable. You fear blinking because you are looking so hard for enemies. I found the same thing when I started playing PoT. Now I purposely remind myself to blink.
- @reconzero Yep this too. Once you get used to maps you know where enemies will be appearing.
