j    Plus (hyperopia) does not always decrease with time or go away and many children do need glasses all their life.  When you child is much older if he needs glasses and doesn't like them he can wear contacts or have lasik OR whatever new technology is available then.

If you are not comfortable with this get a second opinion from a pediatric ophthalmologist
