This is common too on the supplied eyepieces, look at the more expensive ones and take note of eye relief. The good eyepieces are design to eliminate what I think was called the kidneying effect where its a tiny sweet spot where you can actually see anything. Happens on microscopes too. I'd wager a good 10mm will give you far crisper, wider views than your current one and be much easier on the eyes/neck/back to see the view. If you can it'd be worth you getting out with your scope and some other enthusiasts and try some eyepieces for yourself. Its not just a matter of magnification, you'll understand the first chance you get to try a better eyepiece on your scope
