Hello,
It seems from the history that you are not able to read news paper without glasses. Since you are aged 45 years , it is normal for your age and the condition is called as presbyopia. The power required for your age 1.25 is also normal for your age. This is because of decreased accommodation with increasing age and the treatment for this condition is mainly by glasses.
However if there is very frequent change in the power of the glasses required then you require eye examination to rule glaucoma other wise no issues.
Thank you
