-2.00D of cylinder is severe. If you do not give him glasses right now, the vision may not improve with glasses when he grows up. Glasses are a must. It might change in future or may stay constant or may improve according to his eyeball growth.
It's a far sight disorder.
It occurs due curvature of the eye. In his case the vertical curvature is steeper than the horizontal.
Please encourage him to wear glasses.
