see better when pull glasses outward

I am very myopic and notice I see thing little sharper when i pull my
glasses outward about slightly. Does that mean I need new prescription
or eyes getting worse?

 

PS I am age 53 and been couple years+ since last exam.

Probably yes.

 

if tilting your glasses sharpens things, you may be about half a
diopter undercorrected now. If you are happy with your glasses, do
nothing. If you want stronger, get another eye exam

 

wrong dumbass. go eat some mushrooms and visit some girly sites on the
internet.

 

if you see better in your glasses when you pull them away from your
eyes your prescription is likely too strong. it is common for a person
to lose some of their nearsightedness at about your age. you should go
to your eye doctor and tell them of your observations and then get a
new prescription. you will be able to see better at intermediate
distances as well as distance with the new prescription.

good luck

That does not make sense. Improved acuity under those circumstances
indicates a weaker (more positive) prescription will do. The virtual image
produced by the lens moves further away from the eye as the lens is moved
out. If the lens is tilted, some astigmatism might be introduced.

I thought he said he tilts his glasses so the bottom is closer to his
eyes. If he pushes his glasses down his nose then he needs weaker
glasses. If he is tilting them or pushing them tight up to his nose, he
needs stronger

 

Most likely you need reading glasses. It is comon for myopes to push
their glasses away when reading.

Time to see your optom.

Do you mean you can read better when you pull your glasses out from
your face a bit? That's a trick a doctor showed me when you reach the
point that you don't quite need bifocals yet but it's getting a little
harder to read small print with your regular glasses. Have your eyes
checked but if you are like me (also quite myopic) the doctor said the
amount of accommodation needed was so small it was not worth paying for
bifocals at this point.

No I have bifocals and they are a little better if push in to nose and
the far vision is better when pull out a little.

 

It suggests it is time to get new glasses.
