Will The Cylindrical Power Of A 2 Year Old Increase With Age?

Hi Doctor,

My 2 year old son has been diagnosed with a cylindrical number in both his eyes. Though his number is 3, the doctor has given him 1.5 power glasses as he is too small. Just wanted to know will the number increase with age and is this curable?
