Suggest Treatment For Cylindrical Power In Both Eyes In Children

My son of age 5 having cylindrical power in both the eyes of -1.25. in R 6/18,L 6/12. He is doing eye excercise (orthoptic) about 3 months. Now his vision is 6/9 in both the eyes. But it is not reducing further.
Please suggest, whether we will continue the excercise further or any other treatment is there. Regards,
