Hello
It seems from the history that you are having myopia of -4 and -3.75 diopters.
This requires correction by the use of spectacles.
This refractive error will not decrease by wearing spectacles. If you wear spectacles regularly chances of further increase are less.
The other treatment options you can consider are contact lenses and refractive laser surgeries like LASIK.
Thank you
