My 6 year old son has been told to wear glasses by his doctor. He has 0.0 1.00 170 and 0.0 1.50 5 for his
Right  and left eyes. Does he has to wear glasses always? Will it be corrected as he grows up?
Doctor used the phase astigmatism shall i go for second opinion.

Yes I would go for a second opinion. Be sure you see an Eye MD ophthalmologist not an non-MD limited practice scope optometrist. If the vision is good and the child is not complaining of trouble with vision many people/children do fine without glass for that amount of astigmatism.
