Please use the prescribed glasses regularly. More often than not increase in spectacle power is due to inconsistent use of spectacles. Also there is a chance that your eye sight can reduce as you age due to multiple factors .
Keep checking your spectacle power once annually to make sure you are using the correct spectacle power.
