If wearing glasses don't make your vision worse and your eyes become stable in mid 20's please explain this?

Question

I was age 26 when  I first started wearing glasses and my eyes were not that bad. I didn't think I would pass a another drivers license test without them and I didn't Note I knew that for more then 10 years before that I needed glasses. I got progressively worse (-2) until I had Lasik at age 41 with one eye being left slightly nearsighted for up close. After about 8 years I had to start wearing glasses for night driving and wore them more than I was told to. After 13 years I was told I could wear them all the time again which I was close too anyway. In the time after that my prescription went from around -1 or less in both eyes to -2 in the left and -1.5 in my right eye. Note only one change in the reading part from +2.50 to 2.75. In 2016 there was no change.

Glasses actually do not impact the rate of eye deterioration, despite popular belief. While straining your eyes can cause fatigue of blurry vision, proper rest soon restores them to previous functioning. Eye glasses only help immediate sight and do not prevent or cause further damage. Any change in sight can be attributed to fatigue, illness, or straining, and not to the eye-wear. As a person who has worn glasses since second grade and has also been told I might need surgery in the future to prevent too much damage, I can say something curious happens when I loose or break my glasses. I forget how bad my sight is and by the time I get them back I'm nearly convinced my sight has improved or I was imagining how horribly I previously saw. Slot of it is adaptation. The moment I get those suckers on again though I realize how horrid my vision still is.

FFS trying to read your horrible English gave ME a headache! You not only need vision correction you may also need remedial help with speaking, writing, and typing the English language. I've seen some really bad attempts by people at acting like they speak English but...my GAWD! It's never actually made my head ache like this did.
Phuck, dude! Go back to your eye doctor for an update and get yourself some education on speaking and writing English or just type Hebrew or some other garble and spare us all.

I am not sure how it works but when I was in my 20's and 30's I went 10 years without my vision changing, and then starting at about 40 I was getting new glasses ever 2-3 years.  I had to start wearing glasses when I was 18 and had to wear them all the time.  My vision was bad and I had to get special lenses so I wouldn't have the "coke bottle" appearance.  When I got to about 55 I again went a long time without a vision change until my cataracts started bothering me and I had them removed and lens implants.
