Hello
It seems from the history that you have underwent cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation.
Implanted intraocular lens will not loose power but the refraction can vary because of various reasons like formation of after cataract.
This requires evaluation to find the refraction and correction and treatment of the underlying cause.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
