what is the treatment for child who has astigmatism

My son, 12 years old, has just diagnosed astigmatism with nearsight on his left eyes.
           sphere    cylinder   axis
OS:      1.25           -0.75    x10

does he have to ware the glass? can the astigmatism be treated? does his eye have chance to go back the normal?

He needs to wear glasses to see perfect but could likely get away without wearing them as it is mild.  No other treatment really.  One out of three people have some sort of myopia +/- astigmatism so nothing to worry about.  Get him a pair of glasses if he has trouble seeing the board in school etc.
