Lea -

I have the same problem plus bad eyes!  Start with the focus racked in as 
close as possible.  Then when you focus out, it "snaps" into place.  Put 
your focus point on a vertical line and it will help (the line of shirt 
lapel, etc.)  Just adjust the composition after you've focused.  If you 
have plenty of light, you can stop down and depend on the depth of field to 
have everything in focus.  If you are using a Noctilux - practice, practice!

Hope this helps -

Tina
