I'm very grateful for the responses thus far.  I have been doing searching
and have encountered some of the literature in this category.  One question
that I have as a layperson is when the literature discusses the implications,
etc. for hyperopia, do those findings apply to a child like my son who was
diagnosed with latent hyperopia, and is - apparently - self-correcting at
this point?  I've read several items, but I am uncertain if the findings also
apply in the case of latent hyperopia.

At this point, we have informed his teachers (he starts 1st grade next week)
and if they sense any sign at all, we will immediately proceed with the
glasses.  In the meantime, I am continuing to try and figure this out and see
if I can feel more certain of what decision to make.

Additional advice and opinions is still welcome!

Thank you,
Janice
