Hi,
Both eyes of your son are myopic, which is a very common condition of eyes in this age. These report of your optometrist show that with corrective glasses of the prescribed strength, his vision in both eyes will be 6/6 (normal). The no. in both eyes is slightly different and also in right eye it is cylindrical also. But this is not a matter of much concern and he will be able to see the distant objects clearly with the corrective glasses.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Satnarain Bansal, General & Family Physician
