Symbolism! You want symbolism? Don't you know that such a thing does not exist in these books?
After the whole hypogriff fiasco, I have stopped looking for deeper meanings in JKR's use of mythology. She doesn't use those symbols to add symbolic layers to her story. She just uses them because they are teh kewlest.
Obviously the filmmakers are taking a page out her pastiche. There were just too many characters in glasses. Hence, Percy now has 20/20 vision. Either that or he had lasik surgery before his film debut.
