PPRune is a great resource. There is a dedicated Medical thread here. I would suggest posting your question to the aviation medical experts found here:

Oh I understand that but I thought this may fall under the question thread. Its more a question re can he take the exam in the US over say the specific's of the medical exam itself. But thanks anyway

I had heard many stories about taking a medical exam in US. However, still I can not answer you this question. I guess your brother can contact a doctor on a phone in US.

The main thing for the FAA is that someone needs to be able to meet the standard and it does not matter if they require a correction for this.
FAA Medical Examinations can be done in the UK as well as in the US.
