First we need to confirm whether this a true increase or false increase
To confirm if it's a true increase, Dilated Refraction is important.
If it's a false increase, then change of glasses are not required.
If it's true increase (which is unlikely) :
Sudden increase in Myopia could be due to Left eye Keratoconus or due to other factors like dry eyes or even Systemic conditions like certain oral medications or pregnancy.
