Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
What about an eye check up. it could be the first manifestation of an underlying refractive error ie spectacle number so if that's there we can prescribe him spectacles or contact lenses.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
