Hello
It seems from the history that you are having refractive error with both spherical and cylindrical power. This indicates myopia or hypermetropia which requires spherical lenses with astigmatism which requires treatment by cylindrical lenses.
The treatment is by use of spectacles or contact lenses.
If the refractive error is increasing rapidly, it requires examination to rule out conditions like keratoconus which cause rapid increase in the refractive error.
Thank you
