They all three have significant degree of farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism and all need treatment by a board-certified pediatric ophthalmologist. Sometimes with these type of refractive errors the children can also get strabismus and/or amblopia (lazy eye.) Now they can all still have excellent visual potential as long as they wear glasses as directed and keep close follow up with the doctor. As far as cousing is concerned - as long as he has a skilled pediatric ophthalmologist and sees him/her regularly, he should be in good hands.
