My normal eye power is 3.5 right eye and 3.25 left. I just found out that I have a cylindrical power of 0.5.. Is there anyway I can get rid of the cylindrical power or make sure it doesn't increase? Can I still wear my regular contact lenses? Please help!

0.5 is a very insignificant number. You can continue wearing your regular contact lenses.
