Update needed: I am sure the ophthalmologist who prescribed your eyeglasses corrected both nearsightedness and astigmatism. Your prescription probably has changed and you need an update. Make a return appointment and get new eyeglasses.

New glasses: You should be able to have complete correction (unless extremely severe vision problems), so likely your prescription has changed and it is time for an eye exam. See your eye Dr and go for 20/20!
