Amblyopia develops during childhood around the age of 6 to 11 years. It might be that you have just noticed it. Even if you have amblyopia which you have noticed now, it is unlikely that it will progress in 3-4 months at this age. So, this is not the diagnosis.
Next Steps
Please have your eyes and vision checked in person. You would require a dilated retinal examination as well. painless rapidly progressive vision loss in one eye , you need to rule out retinal problem.
Health Tips
Do not ignore, consult in person locally.

This may be because of frequent change in glass prescription.
If that's the reason then you need to consult cornea specialist.
Whenever you visit eye specialist bring all the previous glass prescription.
