See for cylinders the problem is if not corrected the child try to squeeze his eyes to see clearly which in turn tends to increase cylinder so my advice is to wear and still if u dont want just observe ur kid for this eye sueezing habits to see distant things clearly.
Health Tips
Better to wear but other than chance of increase of cylinder no other potential side effects
