Increasing eye power

Question

Asked for Male, 20 Years

I don't wear my glasses all the time, I wear them only when I need them like during lecture, driving, movies in theaters etc. but NOT while sitting in my room talking to friends or while using a laptop. Should I wear glasses all the time? My eye power has increased by 2.2 dioptres over 5 years. It is most likely to be around 2.75 now. So is it normal or is it because I don't wear my glasses?
