Color Troubles

Hello! Just found out about this site today. Looks cool so far!

I was talking to a person, who said that her son's interested in flying. Problem is, he's colorblind. She didn't say how bad it was. I looked through FAR part 67 and found out that you need enough colorsight to be able to distinguish certain colors (not a suprise). Any medical guys out there who can say what colors exactly is the minimum requirement? Also, are there any corrective procedures to fix colorblindness? The child's pretty young at the moment, so it's probably early enough to do just about anything.

Thanks in advance!

Also...this is for me. Besides intervals, what are the major differences between a 3rd class medical certificate and a 1st class? I venture to guess they're more stringent, but just how much so?

Again, thanks...
