Did you ask your eye doctor? There are a number of conditions that can cause such a rapid shift -- was any additional testing suggested?

That is incredible! I wear -8.5 in both eyes and I cannot imagine such a jump. Did you go to the eye doc for an annual exam or because you noticed your vision had drastically changed?
How do your new lenses work for you? Are you getting headaches? Did the doctor ask you to return for some followups? What about visual field tests?
I still am shocked at that jump in your prescription! Wow!

Definitely get your eyes checked again. My older daughter once had this happen to her. She had an examination and was told that her prescription had suddenly gotten a lot stronger. She got a pair of glasses with this new prescription and couldn't see properly through them. She had her eyes checked again and it turned out the exam was wrong.

This shift can be caused by many issues. If you have diabetes this is the most probable cause and expect your vision to fluctuate until the blood sugars are under control.

I would definitely get a second opinion on that. If that is right, then I would see a Opthamologist to see if there is any surgery or solution to stop your right eye from getting worse.

Have it reexamined to be sure that is right.
I also was told I had a radical change last year, it was just an incorrect examination.
