My AP LP10e and APMorini titanium are both grouping a bit high but I cannot turn the elevation screws any longer because both of them are in its maximum. Is it my eyesight or my shooting glasses? I willl appreciate any advice please. thank you

Layers of aluminum foil can provide a solid shim, with very finely adjustable thickness.
As for the 'is it my eyesight' part of the question... I'd be more prone to guessing it's a consistent muzzle flip resulting from a slight 'heeling' of the pistol. If this seems possible to you (as in, you're not seeing the same sight picture just after releasing the shot as you were just before) this can result from either anticipation of the shot and tensing the hand, or from holding too long and reflexively pulling the muzzle upwards to compensate for drooping as the arm tires. Generally it's a good practice to get the shot off within 5 or 6 seconds. Piddubnyi advocates this strongly, as does a chart I saw somewhere here recently depicting hand steadiness/laser position through time. The latter showed most shooters become quite a lot less steady beyond about 6 seconds. That can lead to desperately 'grabbed' shots, which can often go high.
Since you say this is happening on two fairly different pistols, it seems perhaps unlikely that you are actually running out of sight adjustment... though I am not familiar with adjusting either of those (I use a K10 and previously a 46m, both of which easily allow for centre aiming within their rearsight adjustment ranges) pistols, so it's possible they are very restricted, favouring low-aiming practice.
