Brief Answer:
Cylindrical error.

Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
This is a small cylindrical error.We always suggest such children to use glasses for proper development of vision.You have to take care of his diet and health.You should have yearly checkup of the child so that progression can be monitored.
The good part is that glasses power has been detected so early,let him use glasses and some permanent measure to remove glasses can be taken when 21 years of age is reached.
Do get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.
