The refractive error in an eye can continue to change throughout life up to 30s or 40s even, typically stays stable after cataract surgery.
There are ways to reduce the change by encouraging less near work or at least breaks during near work, play outdoors, and less screen time.

Usually around the age of 19 to 21. You will know when the prescription for the glasses stops having drastic changes.
Most people slow down once they stop growing, but there is no guarantee.
