Your refractive error and eyesight are unlikely to improve. Keep wearing glasses. You may consider getting contact lenses. Laser surgery is an alternative that I do not recommend. Wish you good health!

You don't mention your age. As some people get older it is not unusual that they may change from being nearsighted to being farsighted. I'm not sure whether this pertains to your change in eyesight. An ophthalmologist or optometrist can advise you best.
