in addition to his condition i also noticed in the left eye his pupil changes shape to a oval or lopesided, not in the center, etc. it is not noticable that often. when brought to the doctors attention i was told that is completely cosmetic, that it does not affect his vision is that correct?

I would get a second, very independent opinion, from a senior eye specialist. I don't know how, or if, you can do that with whatever medical setup\nsurance you have, but I woud not be at all happy with the current situation you describe and would be screaming for a professional. Good luck and don't ever give up.
I have other complications (coloboma being one) and my pupils are not centred. Yes it DOES affect vision in various different ways and is NOT purely cosmetic.
