Hello
It seems from the history that your son is having refractive error with refractive power of -3 ans -4 in both the eyes. He has been prescribed spectacles.
Coming to your question on wearing the glasses regularly the power will not decrease completely but it may vary either increase or decrease , hence he requires regular follow up at least once in a year.
Thank you
