Today I went to the eye center and ordered new glasses. Here is what my prescription was in September 2007:
OD: -4.50 x -1.00 x 174
OS: -3.50 x -1.00 x 178
Now it is somewhat worse:
OD: -5.50 x -0.75 x 176
OS: -4.25 x -1.00 x 166
I was worried that I would need bifocals, since I am over 40. This turned out to not be the case. There is a slight degradation in my near vision, but not bad enough to need correction yet. I might need bifocals in the next few years, though.
