After endless experiments trying to line up properly with my screwed-up vision, I've concluded that with my eyes positioned exactly in line over the cue with the object ball, they (my eyes) are slightly crossed. I figure I have to live with the mild discomfort, but has anyone found a way to deal with this? Thanks.

Try holding your chin a few inches higher off the cue.

Head Slap
Have someone slap you in the back of the head, I think that will make your eyes stay crossed forever. (At least that is what I heard once. Probably an old wives tail.) If they don't get stuck crossed forever, maybe it will piss you off enough to keep you from crossing them. LOL

I find it difficult to be consistant in perceiving the line by looking down the cue.
Something that has helped me recently was focusing more on the OB. Imagining that the OB was directing me where it needed to be hit.
But probably if I focus heavily on that aspect for a while, I'll begin to lose my sense of seeing a line down the cue.
Aiming seems to be a constant process of going back and forth with focus on various areas. With a ton of play, accuracy and consistancy improves, but misjudgements still slip through occassionaly.
No easy cure unfortunately, and for some it seems easier than others. But with hard work, I think most can get their potting to a level that can allow them to play at an advanced level. CB control and choice of shot are significantly more important.
