HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that, no way if your son has the refractive error then he has to wear the specs, the error can be corrected by laser technic but for that he should be little older, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
