Are my girls unusually nearsighted for their ages?

I have 2 girls and a boy. The girl's prescriptions seem to be getting stronger very fast. Both of them already need thicker lenses than I do. All 3 just went to the eye dr. Here are the results for each child (only the spheres, they also have cylinders that are much weaker).

Girl age 14 old rx RE -8.50 LE -8.00 new rx RE -9.50 LE -9.00
Boy age 12 old rx RE & LE -3.50 new rx RE & LE -4.25
Girl age 9 old rx RE -7.50 LE -7.00 new rx RE -9.00 LE -8.75

My impression is that my son has normal glasses but the girls don't.Is that an accurate assessment?
