It's controversial, but there certainly is evidence that close work causes nearsightedness!. I also regularly took my glasses off when doing close work, and my myopia didn't increase much, and actually decreased once I got out of university!.
At -4!.50, that's too strong to read comfortably without glasses!. Twist your eye doc's arm to write a prescription for computer glasses with a prescription of around -3!.25, and reading glasses at around -2!. You could also go with "computer bifocals" with the "distance" power of -3!.25 and a reading addition (ADD) of +1!.25Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you don't want your vision to get worse then DON'T wear your distance glasses if you are doing close work!. I'm 19 and only use my glasses for distance- my prescription has stayed the same (-2!.00) for over a year!. You can try to improve your vision if you don't use glasses for near work, eating carrots and doing eye exercises!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
