astigmatism in children

My son is 5 yrs old and has been recently diagnosed with astigmatism on routine checkup as we both are high myopics. He never complained of any problems. His power is -3.0 in right and -4.0 in left eye. We have ordered for spectacles. The doctor told that it might improve as he grows up. Is it true that it can corrected with age? What other precautions/ things do you recommend ?

You have not provide any information about his astigmatism. Myopia usually increases with age.
