Hi, Jelly,

Around our early teenage years, our eyes do change...and quite rapidly....fluctuating back and forth. It's just due to our changing eye needs and eye growth. You will probably notice that your eyes will change more often...mine sure did when I was your age. Just be sure to keep your yearly eye exams to check up on the health of your eyes.

When we are born, most every one is born with a + RX...or they can see better far away...over time, as we grow, that prescription tends to change to where we are nearsighted and do not see as well far away.

I think your changing vision is probably well within the norm for your age, but do keep up with your eye appointments...and I know...those RX warranties and vision plans really do not help in cases like this, BUT...you can always appeal if you have vision insurance...get your eye doc to write a letter stating how your glasses are a medical necessity and the prescription has changed by a diopter. I cannot guarantee that will work...but it's worth a shot.
