A member asked:
Dr said my vision has improved and lowered power in my monovision contacts. he said it can happen with age. i'm 59. is that common?

Yes: Prescriptions change over time. The elasticity of your cornea, the increasing density of your lens, and the accommodative ability of your eye muscle are all factors affecting your ability to see. Changing your prescription to accommodate your needs is common.
