I think it will be good to get a pair of spectacles and use them when needed. The readings seemed low (though I'm not an expert) so I think the spectacles could be worn only when needed (e.g., if child has difficulty making out the words written on the board). Can check with the optician for his/her professional advice when you bring your child for a checkup or to make the glasses.
