Hi....I understand your concern. But a power of 1, though you didn't mention whether it is myopia or hypermetropia is not to be neglected. This definitely needs correction with glasses.

Regarding diet you can give him diet rich in vitamin A and these are carrots and other yellow to orange colored fruits.
