If you're using an SLR, there should be a diopter adjustment near the viewfinder. If it doesn't adjust far enough, you can get an additional diopter lens thing to increase the change as needed.

Macro photography is particularly sensitive to camera shake, and typically has a very narrow depth of field for you to work with--both of which can easily lead to blurriness. You may want to try using a tripod to eliminate camera shake, and fine tuning the focus with manual focus or by shifting the camera back and forth rather than relying solely on autofocus.

Hi and welcome to the group. Can you tell us a little more about the camera/lens you are using for your macro work and possibly posting a shot that is particlarly blurry (along with the EXIF data-shutter speed, f/stop, ISO etc). We may be able to add to the good advice already provided.
