Hello,
Your son has got myopic astigmatism. There is nothing that you can do to keep it stable. It is likely to keep changing till he grows older and is likely to become stable around his twenties. No amount of diet or exercise will reduce it. It is necessary for him to wear glasses all the time to retain good vision. He can watch TV with glasses and it will not have any adverse effect on the eye.
Regards
