Certainly possible to change that much in 1 year. Did your Dr. mention cataracts? That would the most common culprit. The only component in a 6o year old eye that can change the power of glasses is the lens of the eye, which is where cataracts form.

If you are getting glasses from someone else, make sure they will redo the lenses if the Dr. needs to change things.
