Sounds like your son has papilledema. He needs an MRI and an MRV. Sometimes, they need to do a spinal tap to rule out any infections causing the swelling. You son would be best served by a neuro-ophthalmologist.
He needs MRI, CT SCANS and visuals field tests , OCT etc. He needs m dilated fundus exam . Diamox helps with intra cranial hypertension
