Corrected entry: We are shown a flashback to Kevin and Paul as toddlers. Paul is shown wearing glasses, but at that age, there is no possible way to tell if a toddler has eye problems, since eyes are still developing at that age. The only definitive eye problem that could be diagnosed is complete blindness, which Paul obviously is not. It could be argued that they only did that to differentiate Paul from Kevin, but that could easily have been accomplished in other ways, like simply having Kevin in his parent's lap and Paul in his parent's lap. Putting glasses on a baby relies on way too much suspension of belief.

Odd Man Out - S3-E6
Factual error: Near the end of the episode when Kevin and Paul are riding their bikes toward each other before they stop for a brief hello of sorts, Kevin rides past a couple cars parked on the street that were built in the early 1980's. A red Pontiac LeMans and a black Pontiac Grand Prix-both were parked in front of the 1969 Ford Thunderbird.
Kevin Arnold - The Narrator: All of our young lives we search for someone to love. Someone that makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope. All the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there's someone perfect who might be searching for us.

Correction: This just isn't true - children even as young as under a year old wear glasses. Doctors dilate the pupils and analyze the light reflection to figure the prescription.
