should my daughter wear glasses

My 5 year old saw the doctor and he said that she has a slight astigmatism in her left eye and is nearsighted he says that she will most likely need glasses next year but is not entirely nessassry now.  She took some reading glasses to school today and she said that they helped her.  Should i go ahead and get her glasses now or should we wait till next year.

Dear ChandraBemis,

I would recommend that you seek the care of an eyeMD to determine the vision and prescription and determine if they are needed.
