Bzzzzzt. I just purchased new glasses recently with a weaker perscription. I was surprised, but my optometrist told me that this is common.
Well, just speculation on my part - I am no professional in this area. However, did he discuss _how_ common it is ? Just because it is common does not mean it is the norm.
This is common in nearsighted persons. One tends to farsightedness in ones older age. For a nearsighted person, that equates to vision closer to nominal. It happened to my mother, and judging by the relative flatness of my prescription over the last 7 years (compared with the previous 30), it will happen to me.
