daughter's astigmatism and eyesight

This is my daughter's prescription/diagnosis.  She is 3 years old.  How severe is this and should I make her wear her glasses all the time?  If I make her wear her glasses will it help the astigmatism go away?  Do I need to get her prescription sunglasses as well?

She is mildly nearsighted with minimal astigmatism in her right eye.  Personally, I would not give her these glasses.  I assume she does not have ambyopia.  A 3 years old does not need good distance vision.  Her world is all near.
