I can’t really determine if the glasses are necessary. It is important to know that chalazia if large can themselves cause astigmatism. Second if glasses were prescribed than the normal thing would be to correct the astigmatism in BOTH eyes. If you have access to a second pediatric ophthalmologist you might seek a second opinion. If there is a family history of strabismus and amblyopia in your family (or the child’s father) then it is more likely the glasses would be indicated.
The amount of astigmatism may increase or decrease with time not possible to tell. If the eye doesn’t get a clear image it may not develop full vision *(amblyopia)

Thanks for your response. Typically how long can a chalazion affect
Astigmatism. It was beginning of May when it was pretty large closing half of her eye almost. It has since resolved witthba small circle still slightly visible. I’m concerned what if this astigmatism of 1.5 is due to that. Would waiting 6 months and retested be ideal?
