Myopia has an impact on children's physical and mental development, learning and even future work. So, will parents' myopia be passed on to the next generation? Next, I'll give you a brief introduction.

Can myopia be inherited

First, family members with family history of myopia have a higher incidence of myopia than those without family history of myopia. The higher the degree of myopia of parents, the higher the prevalence of children. Moreover, the children with myopia genetic genes have a significantly lower resistance to adverse eye use environment and a higher risk of inducing myopia. It shows that there is a certain relationship between myopia and heredity.

Second: high myopia is an autosomal recessive genetic disease, that is, a pair of genes related to myopia are pathogenic genes of the disease. If only one gene is pathogenic and the other gene is normal, the disease will not occur, but only the carrier of the pathogenic gene.

Third: in order to help children avoid suffering from myopia, parents of myopia families should pay more attention to their children's eye health, so as to effectively prevent children from suffering from myopia.
