In verification fields there are plain text and distorted text. I cannot read the distorted because of bad eyesight. How can I get around it.

Sometimes you can switch to an audio CAPTCHA via a button next to the text CAPTCHA, so you can try to look for such a button or link.

You can also try to open the CAPTCHA image in a new tab via the right-click context menu and middle-click the View Image item.
Then you can zoom the image to make it larger, but I don't know if that works for you.
Some CAPTCHAs are so difficult to read that I sometime need to refresh the image until I see one where I can make out what the characters mean.
