Usually eye power remains constant after age of 18 to 20 in most of the cases. As the development stops eye power remains constant in most cases . That doesn't mean it doesn't increase later on , but less chances. There is nothing you can do to stop it , but can get regular examinations to make sure everything is fine. What do you mean by lot in your perspective. An increase of 0.5 is an increase but not much . Also are you talking about spherical or cylindrical power. If your cylindrical power is increasing it needs to be seen with caution . Needs additional investigations.
