Q: I am 43 years old. I have spectacle with 1.5 plus power. How to arrest the increase of power?

A:You are referring to the eye-related condition Presbyopie. There is no known method to arrest the increase in power for reading (near work). As the name suggests, there are age related changes. The serving grace is that reading glasses powers, which are given as add-ons on top of the distance power do not exceed +3 add.
