I recommend you check out the ClearLight Lenses at $39. When it comes to shorter lens heights I prefer free form lenses. The only places I know that offer these are $39 and CoastalContacts. Only $39 offers relensing.
I recently ordered a new pair of progressives from Coastal with a lens height of 28mm and used their free form lenses. The mid range is way more comforatable than a pair I own with Varilux Ellipse. Incidently the Varilux came from $39 so this is another option for shorter lens heights. Free form lenses such as the Varilux Physio 360 will cost you a small fortune. I have the ClearLight in a pair of frames that measure in at 32mm. As I said before, the mid range is extremely comfortable, and reading and distance vision is excellent. I don't think your cousin's prescription should pose a problem. The ClearLight lenses have an index of around 1.58 which should help him. These lenses can be tinted.
