Since you have a high refractive error and there has been a significant change from -5 to - 7 .. high myopia is associated with retinal weakness ( lattice degeneration or retinal holes) which if significant may need laser treatment to prevent further sight threatening complications..
Next Steps
Thorough retinal examination followed by prophylactic laser if needed
Health Tips
Do not forgo the retinal evaluation before proceeding to make new spectacles
